Antique Austrian bronze

Any help identifying this Austrian bronze would be great. See photos. I would also like to know approximate age

I was told that it was a Franz Xaver Bergmann. However, I don’t think that the stamp signature matches.

 

Please provide a sharper images of the mark with the light shining from different directions. This will help us get a better idea.

Though the mark is not clear, the shapes are indicating in the Bergman direction. Also, under the mark is a word, and that is another indication.

I have intentionally blurred and distorted my additions to help me see what the shapes could be.

 

Here is a comparison with a different regional figure on a very similar canoe. Also, note the weak mark. The price of this image may reflect the odd subject combination or bidder scepticism or both.

Then there is this, over the estimate.

Getting better in being a Bergman.

 

Thank you for your reply. I’ve attached a better picture of the stamp as per your request. I also found my same canoe which sold at auction here https://www.invaluable.com/auction-...austrian-1861-1936-native-am-404-c-76a4122b8d

this sold in 2015. Since I picked this up about 20 mins from where the one on invaluable was sold in 2015 I am thinking it’s the same canoe.

 

Here is a link from Christies auctions that was in 2005. Its the same similar motif that "Roaring20s" posted earlier. What is interesting, is that in the details, they say it is numbered 3605, which is the same number you show in your last picture. Could have been part of a cold painted native american model series made by Bergmann back then ?

Wow. I will have to begin looking at antique stores. I love this so much and will definitely begin hunting for its partners… thanks! Very useful info.
