Subject:Possible Meiji period bronze lion hallmark
Posted By: Andrew S. Sat, Jun 24, 2017 IP: 5.12.176.1
I have a bronze lion which looks to be (but not sure) like those Meiji period bronze lions...

Could someone tell me anything about this hallmark ?

Not sure how the website works but I've added a link to it as well in case it won't show up below.

Reads 'Harumitsu' (治光). Can you post an image of the whole thing?

Here you go Guy... Is this the name of the maker ?

Yes, this is the maker's mark (Harumitsu is an art name). Definitely a Meiji era okimono of a male lion. Good quality.

Guy.
