Question

Man & woman figurines
We are looking for help identifying these 2 unique figurines.  We have no idea where they are from as they came to us from an elderly aunt who traveled the world.  Thank you!

Answer
Dear Jan,
Are there any marks on the bottom of the pieces? They're beautiful. They seem to be missing a few pieces from their arms. I'm not an antiques expert, but glad to help if I can.

If they have marks at all, send me the photos of the marks. Here are some sources that may be more helpful to you;

Hope this helps. Leisha
