    Hi,
    I recently acquired these and love the way they look. I was wondering, of course, maybe if there was any way of identifying these as to the age and maybe the origins maybe a price range. I am new to this board and just thought I would jump in with both feet...lol. Thanks for any info on these carvings!
    The bottom photo is the biggest one, but it only measures 7 inches across and 6 inches tall... just fyi.

    My guess: Made after 1940. They are worth what you paid for them.

    I think both of your carvings are relatively new. The carvings are rather crude and lack detail.

    Compare them to the one in the background.

    By the way Welcome to the board.
