Just picked up this piece and I'm wondering if anyone has any idea's as to what it could be. Please take a look!

Thanks!

Is it a bison? At first i saw the yellow, and thought it was a chickens beak , but I took a better look at the shape, and it definitely looks like a bison.

Yes, I do believe it's a Bison, Buffalo or Wisent. I just called it a bull but I guess a bison/buffalo would be closer.

I like the bull. It could be Murano, but I can't say definitively, it doesn't ring a bell off the top of my head. Do you have any more info?

Since this post I have been told by someone I respect, they believe it's from Murano, circa 1950's and could have been made by several makers. I'm happy someone gave me their thoughts. I know it's not possible to get an ID on everything but even a thought or comment is appreciated. So thank you Fossilfly and Glassman!!!
