Brown Mouse Candle on Trap from Rev. Ross McClellan

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image features a whimsical and playful setup consisting of a small, brown, mouse-shaped candle with large round ears and shiny black eyes, placed on a wooden mousetrap. The mouse candle stands upright on the trap, adding an element of humor and irony to the scene. Additionally, there are artificial flowers, one pink and others white, positioned strategically around the base, complementing the mouse and adding a decorative touch. The entire setup rests on a textured, light-colored surface that contrasts with the darker colors of the mousetrap and candle, creating a visually engaging composition. This composition playfully contrasts the typical function of a mousetrap with charming and harmless decorative elements.
