Featured in this lot is an antique bronze colored bison sculpture originating from Japan. The form was created in the "Okimono" style, translating to "Ornament for display", and is made as a purely decorative piece. The bison or buffalo shows a turned head, with curious expression. The underside of the bison is stamped three times, a rectangular mark attributing to the maker, and two square marks. The bison is in good condition, and is believed to originate from the first quarter of the 20th century. The bison measures 7 1/8" tall, 8 1/2" wide, and approximately 3" thick.
