The seal reads "Seiya saku" (made by the Seiya workshop), ca 1890s. Cfr. the Meiji bronze elephant attacked by a group of tigers shown at the Asian Art Forum, casted by the same manufacturer (see link).

I noticed also that the headstock of shamisen is missing. That's a pity.

Thank You very much for so quick answer, wow!
Yes, the headstock is missing indeed, but I like the figure anyway. Greets from Poland, Czarek
