On the base it says?????? Made of solid pot metal with a bronze coat. Hollow base-heavy. Any idea of the date of the artist? Dragon head on the breast plate. A very early type Samurai I believe. Thanks

HOUSTON-
I WOULD THINK THE ERA FOR THIS STATUE IS LATE MEIJI PERIOD TO TAISHO PERIOD(CIRCA 1900-1926)
THE STATUE APPEARS TO PORTRAY A SAMURAI FROM THE EARLY KAMAKURA PERIOD(12TH CENTURY).
REGARDS,
BOB
