    Does anybody know anything about these 2?

    I picked them up at an auction with some early 20thC african wood carvings, i'm guessing these are just vintage Chinese souvenirs but thought I would share with you guys just in case they are something else.

    Thanks a lot

    Yes, charming Chinese souvenirs, based on Tang dynasty terracotta figures.

    These definitely look newer. However don’t the Chinese have a tendency to make modern well fitting, padded, and decorative boxes for truly antique and ancient items as well?
