    This doorstop size okimono by Saegusa Sotaro is 9.5" x 6.5" x 3.5" and weighs just under 5 lbs. It feels a bit light for its size but attracts a magnet. Perhaps an iron alloy? Faux copper finish. It has SS's mark on the rear right leg.

    I have been looking for a boar by SS to round out my collection of his Zodiac animals and found this and a plus sized Akita dog for $29. I had been holding out for something in bronze or copper but this set was too good to pass up. I have an SS Akita dog in copper but it is about half the size of the companion to this massive boar. I may end up using this boar as a doorstop if I ever find a deal on one in bronze or copper.
