Gorham Bronze Sculpture Seated Indian

I have tried to find out about this bronze by Gorham. It's about 6 inches high and 5 inches wide. It looks like there might have been a base at some time as there are 4 small screw holes. Marked on the bottom. I tried image search and just running keywords through google and come up with 1 close looking piece but its not by Gorham.
It appears to be a highly replicated pose. Even myself, I had once owned a cold painted bronze incense with a man in a turban sitting in the same pose.

Thats the one close example I was talking about.

 

... says Gorham.... earlier or later production?

 

& Q 56 ...

 

you are just missing the base......... too bad about that ...

 

Been in your position many a time Balto ! Because of their beauty, I can't resist. Still have a sterling clad nouveau nude vase with a missing arm-had to buy her.

 

Item description: "A. St L. Eberle along the base. Gorham Co. Founders Q56 also marked near the base."

 

oh damn, that makes me sad. I'm curious why someone would remove the base?? I'll never know...

 

Unknowable,but sometimes that's why they're still waiting for us ? I've got an old wind-up 1930's steel land/speed record deco toy race car -it was cheap because someone had removed the side fins...been looking for those side fins for some time.

 

I'm more interested on why they never put it back on??
looks like a great hiding place!!!!
