Featured Ídol stone carved figures

Hello friends,
Have you some information about this pieces? I think that por the tipology are América Central, but I dont know,

Thanks!


Many thanks

They remind me of Dogon carvings, from Mali. African art is not my expertise, and I could be wrong entirely, so I'll tag @2manybooks .

 

It is not a style I recognize. I think a good first step would be to identify the type of stone used. Is there a museum or university nearby with a geology department?

Where did you get them, and what were you told about them?

 

Interesting objects. Have they perhaps been painted or dyed that brown colour? The texture makes me think of cement or something (not trying to be funny,just thinking aloud )

 

I thought they look mold formed as well.

 

I think that is basalt, not cement is similar to volcano stone
