    What would be the likely origin of these and who do they represent ? s-l1600.jpg They are hand carved oak, 23 inches tall... my sense is they seem to be 75 to 100 years old and had been attached to a larger piece of furniture.

    They are the three wise men, or three kings in some traditions.
    They look European. Maybe Poland, 1960s?

    They do look like the Three Kings, but the style isn't Polish and they're not antique. They don't "smell" old. Greek maybe? (wild guess)

    Three Kings, certainly. Not anywhere vaguely Eastern, somewhere in Europe or even the UK. They look a bit Scandi.

    The faces remind me a bit of the Lewis Chessmen.
