The photo posted separately appears to show a zhuanshu seal script mark of "Made in the Xuande Reign of the Great Ming Dynasty" (Da Ming Xuan-de Nian Zhi - 大明宣德年製). Xuande is the most frequently faked reign mark found on Chinese bronzes of all kinds.

Such figures of scholars or sages on horseback come up for auction occasionally with and without marks and the champlevé (or cloisonné) treatment. Here are a couple of results.

Seems these auctioneers were in no rush to establish an age for their lots.

Best regards,
