Bronze okimono of a ram, Meiji period.

I read the maker's name as 'Masayuki' (雅雪).

Hello again Guy, I would like to ask you to take a look at another photo, of a similar ram which has a more clear signature. Thank you very much for your effort!

The first mark reads 'chûzô' (鋳銅 - cast), indicating that more copies were made.
On the contrary, when the lost wax technique is used, just one unique model survives.

Sorry, the mark 鋳銅 reads not 'chûzô' but 'chûdô' or 'cast bronze'.
