Unfortunately, there is no signature or makers mark on this small statue. We can only speculate that it originated in Asia. This rendering is, in any event, reminiscent of many Gansu horse reproductions. The weight and heft along with the verdigris color lead us to believe that the metal is patinated bronze. We cannot be certain about that, however. The statue is a nice size with dimensions of 7 inches tall, 10 inches long, and 3 1/4 inches wide. See less
