Asian figure looks like fisherman. Was purchased at the St Louis Words fair.
It has always been in my family.
Dear Nancy,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a Japanese Meiji period (1868-1912) bronze statue with unknown measurements. The bronze depicts a fisherman and was made by a follower of the Tokio School in the late 19th or early 20th century.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 1.000 to 3.000 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
