Description:

This bronze figure of a sage riding a bull measures 7 1/2 inches tall by 8 inches long (nose to tail) by approximately 3 inches in depth.

It dates to the 19th century and carries the makers mark on the reverse (see enlarged photo).

It is in very good condition and much of it's original gilding remains. It does have an added wire strap that runs from the bulls nose to the riders hand that is not original to the piece. At some time in it's history it may have been added by someone who did not know the story of " riding the bull home" and mistakenly thought that something was missing. The concept of riding the bull home represents gaining control over oneself after difficult struggles.
