Japanese Meiji Cast Iron Samurai on Horse

Japanese cast iron samurai on horse. The cast iron is decorated in areas with red paint. This item has three distinct pieces to it; the horse, the samurai, and his helmet.

Age: Mid Meiji, 19th Century

Measurements: Approximately 11 1/2" high with a length of 10"

Condition: This samurai has has a hard life and has some condition issues. He has a small dent above his left eyebrow (probably from some angry opponent), his left left has been broken but welded and is now sturdy. He appears to be missing something in his left hand. Do not know what it is as he has his sword on his side. The horse and helmet look to be in good condition. Overall, this is still a very decorative piece and the price reflects its condition issues.
