Subject:Meiji Period Bronze Elephant ID
Posted By: Chris N Mon, Feb 01, 2021 IP: 73.84.95.223
I have inherited a bronze elephant, about 8 inches tall and 11 inches long. He is all bronze, no ivory or other materials. He has an Asian stamp on his underbelly. Does anyone recognize this signature? Thank you in advance for any advice or thoughts you have on this – Chris

The marks reads 'Seiya saku' (誠谷作 - made by Seiya). The Tokyo workshop of Genryûsai Seiya.
