I remember when the circus came to town once a year. Posters glued to walls promised elephants, fire breathers, acrobats — and always clowns. Looking at the trunk feels like it was there backstage, stuffed with costumes and props, waiting for the show to begin. Trunks aren’t just wooden boxes. They’re keepers of journeys. Before cheap mass metal storage trunk appeared, trunks were the way people travelled. Built solid, heavy duty, cheap vintage trunk sometimes decorated with brass corners or painted lettering.

When I first laid eyes on the circus clown trunk, I froze for a moment. The painted face staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a fragment of a lost world — a travelling circus.
