Another post of maybe old things Any info appreciated

Both about 8" long and heavy. The first one looks like it is made of iron with small specs of gold.

 

No clue, but the Mermaid is pretty cool.

 

LOVE the mermaid ! I think they are probably African.

 

I can't help, but think they're pretty cool!

 

Google Image search Dogon Crocodile Boat

Found a couple of mermaids, both identified as Dogon, also, like the crocodile boat.
