    Hello Mpkh! Welcome to Antiquers.

    I can't help, but you should edit your post and select Full Image rather than thumbnail.

    Intriguing whatever they are. Reminds me of chess pieces and the base of one that came off, but you've given no indication of their size.

    Hi and WELCOME, mpkh!! A lot of us have difficulty with viewing the thumbnails, ergo the reason we repeatedly ask for members to use the FULL SIZE selection when posting!! This might help, if you need it: And THANKS!!!!!!!

    They look melted. Makes me think they were cast from a bad mold made from other pieces.
