Subject:Need help identifying mark on Japanese Meiji Bear
Posted By: RFM Mon, Apr 16, 2018 IP: 2601:281:c202:b68a:f Request your help in identifying the signature on the bronze bear. Unfortunately, someone scratched off the surface to better see the signature. The bear is huge, weighs 21 pounds. |

Posted By: John Wed, Apr 18, 2018 I found this link which seems to be the same artist so I am guessing Chriaties may take it. They have a few although I couldnt find a bear. https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/a-bronze-sculpture-signed-atsuyoshi-saku-and-5560935-details.aspx |
