Featured 2 Metal Figurnes - Skiing Bulls

Any idea where these may be coming from and possible age? Only the skis are iron, the rest is pot metal.
Thanks

 

That's the funniest thing I've seen in days! Sorry.

 

I admit they are funny.

 

Jamakeame wonder....

Male and female water buffalo?

 

Skiing bulls sounds more fun, but I'd say they're using walking sticks and maybe dancing and they have an African look.

 

Hey Kardi, do you still have these? I accidentally found one last night scrolling through Google pictures of African art, then found a few more.

This seller is just guessing, but the pics are worth while.

I was searching for pictures of real people dressed in and dancing with poles in costumes like these, but haven't had any success yet. Ox, cow, bull or buffalo mask/helmet bring up some pics of similar head wear.

Anyway, I found a little info to build on and have in our archive here.
