    Little decorative hanging plaques with classical motifs. To my eye, 1960s or a bit earlier. They weren't expensive in their time. Someone else may have a differing opinion.

    The female figure is likely Thalia, the Greek muse of comedy, who is associated with a horn and trumpet. The other figure is a putto, or small boy. (Sometimes putti are shown with wings.)
