Featured Kinda (unintentionally?) scary looking clay figures

Pottery/glass is always so busy... thought I'd post here. Outsider art?

So these were at a sale for $1. Some may say I overpaid. But they reminded me of something someone posted here, so just threw them in with everything else I was getting. Occasionally odd ball things have a following, so took a chance. But once home could not find similar and now they are staring at me and not exactly sparking joy. I think the label reads: ARS. Any hope for these two?

 

Vodoo? They make me think Haiti or Cuban syncretic religions

 

So ugly they're...........cool?

 

I like them somehow too. I must have a book on Haiti art somewhere, I will confirm if found something similar in style

 

very interesting indeed.

 

Thanks for the comments so far. If anyone stumbles on the maker or style, do let me know. Cheers!

 

I agree with @i need help about the dried apple dolls -- they have that look (not saying that's what they are).

I like them. I do not want them.

 

Yes, I was thinking of those dried apple dolls. Bingo.

The 2nd figure reminds me of the movie version of Voldemort in the Harry Potter series.

 

The one with the goggles reminds of the Arctic explorer “mummies” they dug up.
