    First - Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to everyone!

    I found these yesterday at my local thrift store. I did an image search, but only a single brass one came up.
    Are these Chinese? Ducks or swans?
    When I saw them I thought of foot dogs sitting on either side of a door for some reason.
    Any thoughts of information on them would be greatly appreciated!

    Speaking of ducks, this video of a cat leading a brood of baby ducks to a pond & then relaxing on a rock while keeping an eye on them was just perfect to find on Christmas day!
    Happy Holidays & a blessed new year to you all!

    Do they have any significance or are they just decorative?

    I'd have figured them for modern Indonesian, but Thai works too. Very recent; I'd be thinking Homegoods or World Market or some such.
