    komokwa The Truth is out there...!

    they look like they're from the same maker as the 1st one.........

    Don't u think that's correct ?

    I would test to make sure it is not silver but may be a pewter-type alloy.

    Yes of course they are komokwa
    Thanks verybrad
    Can not find anything about them
    They are not magnetic,they won't bend with any force,they have some kind of marking but I can not tell what it says,even with a magnifying glass and they are heavy for there size so I'm just baffled to where they originated from and the metal type

    The first figure looks like a caricature of a Zulu warrior of South Africa - the arm band, the cord across the chest, the leopard skin apron, and the short spear are all typical accoutrements.

    Can you tell us where you got these? It might give us a clue as to origin.

    They all look like the same artist to me, same lost wax method of casting (cire perdue) and marked illegibly. Thanks for showing the back and for showing your other two. These are very cool. I'll look around for your artist. Where did you get these?

    @2manybooks , agreed about the Zulu warrior.

    Not Inca. Without any knowledge of "where did you get these" am ready to think your little silver Zulu warrior was home-made by a crafter local to your area.
