Subject:Help with marking on elephant statue

Does anyone know what these markings mean or what this is? Be really appreciative of any help

Most probably, you have a Japanese Meiji era bronze 'okimono' (ornament for display) bearing the maker's mark of Tsunemitsu (常光). This was a workshop in Tokyo, specialized in bronze casted elephants, tigers etc, made for export purposes around 1900.
