    The model for the mold may have been hand carved,it looks like the mold was misaligned when it was cast.

    Mexican souvenirs. Inspired by a mix of pre-Columbian cultures, a bit of Maya, Zapotec, etc. I'm with the others, not hand carved but from a mold.
    No Inca influence, that would be one of the Andean countries, like Peru.

    As above. Inexpensive pastiche Mexican souvenirs. The pyramid worn as a headdress looks vaguely like Chichen Itza. I suspect someone brought them back from a holiday in Cancún.
