Hello to everyone,

This is my first post on subjects other than Japanese swords and I am really devoid of knowledge about this kind of art.

So: Here is a bronze tiger statue I have, I bought it years ago. I was told it is called a "double patina" statue and It is from meiji era.

It is also "signed", I have already seen this signature on other statues but also, as I am not Japanese speaker, I can't find anything on google.

It measures 45,5 cm (17,71654 inches) from the tail to the head and 20,5 cm (7,874016 inches) of heigt (from the front paw to the nose)

I would love if you guys tell me what's the real value of this and would really appreciate to know some history about the maker and this type of statue.

I am sorry if it is not the right category to talk about this.

Thank you really much

Carl
