[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 388178, member: 84"]I found these yesterday at a local yard sale. At first I thought they were terracotta until I picked them up - they are heavy! Is there a way to tell how old they are - maybe by the unusual hook on back? They are fairly large; they measure 17" long x 9" high/deep Also, these are concrete not terracotta right? The concrete was just dyed to look like terracotta? These must be made for outside right? I don't know if a reg drywall wall could hold their weight. But they sure are pretty! PS - Last photo is a cool concrete organ grinder's monkey I also got at same yard sale - just showing it because it's so funny!
