Robert Raikes Circus Collection Maurice the Ringmaster Monkey - 1994 Limited Edi

In the spotlight's electric blaze, where the big top pulses with the roar of the crowd and the scent of popcorn lingers like a promise of wonder, Maurice the Ringmaster Monkey commands the ring—a plush figure in regal purple velvet trimmed with golden braid, his black fur coat gleaming under imaginary spotlights, fez perched at a jaunty angle, mouth open in a triumphant call that echoes the thrill of the finale. The wooden paws and face, carved with mischievous precision, grip an invisible whip, while the sequined jacket catches every imagined flash, evoking the chaotic joy of acrobats soaring and lions leaping in perfect anarchy.
Imagine him perched on a shelf in a room of childhood dreams, or displayed where he inspires tales of daring acts and curtain calls that leave hearts racing, his form a celebration of the circus's irrepressible spirit. From the 1994 Circus Collection, this limited edition (one of 5000) bears the artist's signature touch, a collector's delight in plush and woo
