Though Gorham is best known for silver, they also made bronze objects, such as these, of extraordinary quality. Both the famous Shaw Memorial by St Gaudens on the Boston Common and the Brown University bear are Gorham bronzes.
It's possible that this piece has had an erasure, but if so, it's subtle and difficult to distinguish. However, the overall presentation is excellent, and so is the price!
