[QUOTE="Carnivant, post: 11148883, member: 87774"]Hello! I acquired these three items at a local thirft store (in Canada). Didn't pay much for them, but I thought they were interesting. The brass looked not-so-modern, and the fact that one of the bottles had a leather stopper made me think they could have some age as well. From a Google Image search, the closest I could find were a Baule mask pendant, some kind of flask (haven't found anything specific on that one yet), and a Verre snuff bottle. Of course, if I'm wrong, corrections are welcomed. :) With that being said, my biggest question would be on their possible ages. I'm not even sure where to start on that... so does anyone here have any ideas? The only marking/sticker is on the back of the base of the mask. And for the heights, they are approximately: Left: 7.5 cm Middle: 9 cm Right: 11 cm And... yeah. If more pictures are needed, I can provide them. Thank you for your time!
