    Approx 6 3/4" tall each and very heavy My first thought was Victorian wall decor but there is only one hole on each to hang and it is at the bottom The bow has a hole in the middle but they do not go through on either I was thinking cast iron before I tested them with a magnet and it did not stick Any help is very much appreciated!

    How is everyone keeping busy during this COVID situation? I hope you stocked up on TP!!

    I don't know but wouldn't think they were finely enough made to be Victorian.

    So just Victorian era looking or styling?

    Let's see what others think. The figure appears to be classical. And they do look as they were produced for a purpose beyond decorative.

    Are you sure, at the top, in the middle of the bows, there isn't one small hole in each....just 'gunked' up and looking closed???? I can mark what I'm seeing, if you need me to......
