Regarding carvings
This is known as the Queen's Den or cage on the Sells-Floto Circus. This photo comes from the Bandwagon July / August 1974 issue on page 9. This is very similiar in construction to the one a couple pictures below. Both were built by the Bode Wagon Co. in Cincinnati, Ohio.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
