    They look African. Try keyword combos of: African tribal bronze gold weight ashanti akan Chiwara antelope gazelle. Hone it down from there.

    Very similar stuff comes up with those words. :eek: And ick! eek! some of those figurines are very pornographic, so be forewarned!

    Looks like a composite metal over plate. Id'e say tourist souvenir figurines. Not worth anything - sorry!

    They're attractive. I'd put them out at Christmas with some greenery around them and let other people make of them what they will.

    Composite metal over plate?

    Is that a feather or a horn coming out of the "head up" critter's face?

    Are they heavy or light weight?

    Some type of sand casting and they didn't clean the sand out of the ears?

    I was wondering what that is.
    They look like they're covered with gold leaf, so maybe the red dirt came later.

    I noticed that too, and think he transposed what he meant to say. Been there, done that.... so I can translate with ease and carry on, LOL. :joyful:

    I do this with my mom everyday. I know what she means, despite what she actually says.
