Blue haired wooden figurines

This one, I haven't the faintest inkling about, no clue, good luck!

 

Sorry, had to sleep for the night......
Figurines are very narrow, no way there would be space for match box, maybe 3 tiny matches...

 

Match box wouldnt fit. maybe 2-3 small matches. I dontse the striking area.

 

Luck seems to be busy with someone else at the moment
Good night!

 

You're area of the world will produce things of such a nature that they may be unknown to us.

Like these guys !!

 

I have to ask, by blue hair are you just meaning figures of old people or is there actually some blue?

 

Since the only blue I see in the pics is the man's one blue eye, I assumed Mak meant blue-eyed.

 

I appologise for the missunderstanding I caused.
English is not my first language.
I foolishly translated word from my languge literarly.
I meant to say "blond" hair.
Why do I think their hair is blond?! It just feels that way. Cannot explain.

 

Different countries , different ethnicities, different arts and traditions.
I think art speaks all languages.
It is interesting though, that here we see and learn about things we otherwise wouldn't.

 

I like the Closet's idea about candles and a few matches. I bet any area on wood could be a good strike-spot.
Although I still keep wondering about the folk-art whirligig... if you could anchor them...

 

"Whirligig"- theres anew word I learned!
I don't know if candles could fit , or stay upright in these slim figurines.

 

What if they were part of an more complex thematic instalation, comprising of people and buildings, depicting some rural society?

 

OMG, check THIS OUT!!!!!
Huh? Huh?

Looooks similar enough!

 

I agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am looking and it defintely is whirlgig, but is it north american?
I cannot pinpoint

 

Ya got me there, Mak!
From what I see on Google, they're crafted world-wide. If only somebody could identify that high collar, or the clothes or baskets. To me, it has a middle-European feel.

 

I stand corrected actual dimensions are :
Height:21cm
Width of base:3,5cm
Sorry for the mistake
