    Hello Antiquers-
    I have a small bronze I'm hoping to learn more about. Specifically who the artist may have been.
    It's about 16cm or 6" tall and has 5 distinct marks.

    Photo #3 depicts what I believe are the initials "RK".
    Photo #4 depicts what I believe is the year "1976"
    Photo #5 depicts a signature or other word that I cannot distinguish.
    Photo #6 depicts what I believe is the number "4".
    Photo #7 depicts a character that is not familiar to me.

    I would appreciate any insight and/or opinions on the work.
    Thanks Antiquers!

    In the area shown on picture #5, take a flashlight and move it slowly around, all angles. This may help you see the form of the letters.

    It may be the foundry name, the title, or simply say bronze. ;)

    James.

    Thank you James. Cheers Antidiem.
    Try as I might, I'm not able to make out the signature in photo #5.
    This is my first bronze and I'm trying to learn what I can.
    Is it at all unusual that a piece is marked in 5 distinct places? I've not seen this before.
    Thank you again.
