This bronze statue is in very good condition, but there is no signature. On the bottom is taped (I believe from the seller) the numbers "11/78 600 5022". The 11/78 was probably either the date of sale or the date it was put up for sale.
Dimensions
It is 18 inches high, the base is 9 inches long, and 10 1/2 inches from hand to hand.
