It does look odd, but only because we don't see it often:

Mattis
that is very nice and looks very nice to me. Maybe Joe can weigh in, but it looks like a nice early piece.

HI Mattis,
This is a very rare Arsenyev diorama. Production nos. are unknown but surely very low. This style of identification base plate is the norm for Arsenyev from the earliest figures to the present. Some of these tiles almost have a glazed ceramic look to them, but it's gloss coated metal. Arsenyev doesn't use labels. That's really just an Aeroart thing for the most part although Amber also used labels too. Congrats on finding such a rare piece! I love the groundwork.

Thank you all for very useful information.

The more I study it, the more I actually like it. It's always a pleasure to find something rare, and well done.

Here are pictures of my latest arrival.
This is The Calligrapher. The casting is from Altores Studio and the painting by Silver Dream Studio in St. Petersburg.
This was my first time working with Silver Dream. It could not have been easier, good English, they use paypal (no wiring money), etc.
I think the painting on this is stunning. The figure was sculpted to look like a Japanese woodblock, rather than true to life and they painted her in that same vein. I am very happy with it! (sorry pictures aren't as clear as normal - got lazy and used iPhone)

Amazing additions Joe!!! The mounted figure is absolutely stunning to say the least! And the ninja is also amazing! I received mine about 2 weeks ago as well and must say the detail on the figure is amazing!
