    Bronze statue about 22" tall. The symbol on the bottom is the only possible identifying mark I could find. Any ideas or knowledge would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

      Bronze coloured ONLY. They were and are made of solid resin which gives it the weight. The BASE would be hollow as bronze or metal pieces are on all statues if they would be real metal. These have flooded the market since the 1990's. The bronze finish shows no sign of any real age. People assume they are metal since they are heavy.

      The mark is very recent with no wear or age on it also, not that its a bad piece. A lot of people have these or want one, so they are not waste.

      Beautiful piece, I have to disagree with Phil on this one, it is metal and and even if it isn't an antique, it is still a very good quality piece.
