    2 porcelain baby figurines with crossed arrow marks on the bases. These measure 4 5/8" tall.

    Piano babies.
    Imported from Japan. Hopefully someone will remember who does the crossed arrows. It's an importers mark, not a maker.
    Arnat, Inesco, Napco, Nasco, I don't think Lefton.

    Homco is swords with a little O between the blades. I think this one is Arnart.

    Hi,
    To make it worse, I forgot which company used five feathers on the arrows.

    The arrows here are from Arnart.

    Just to be clear, Arnart and the other companies mentioned are all importers, they didn't make anything. They contracted with various factories in Japan and later other countries in Asia, to make pieces for them. That said, the importer's name is what they are listed under.

    These type of figurines are commonly called piano babies.
