Native American figurines, woman in blanket

Hello, need little help figuring out what are these pottery dolls. No markings. Each is hollow and fit on my fingers. I have 5 of them. I have seen painting with these images of woman in winter blankets. Are they Native American, what tribe and any idea of the value. Thanks.

 

These are adorable! I don't know, but other members surely will. Please wait for others to comment. Happy Saturday night!

 

Thanks. Have a great evening!

 

Anyone?

 

@komokwa , are these clay finger puppets? Are they Native American?
I cannot decide if they could be Peruvian, or other? Thanks

 

They supposedly represent or depict Native American women, but without any idea of who made them and little way of finding that out, they cannot legally be offered for sale as Native American, at least in the U.S.

They were apparently made in a slip-mold, not a process used by traditional Native American potters, which indicates they were either factory-made for the souvenir/gift market, or sold as "blanks" for crafters to finish painting.

The way they are dressed doesn't depict any Native American tribe, just a "fantasy" or an image in someone's mind of what might be believed to be "Native American."

 

Thanks very much guys.
