requesting wisdom
Ladies, fish, and gentlemen (I'm listening to Blue Oyster Cult), your assistance, please.
On Monday, while visiting York, I wandered into a crafts/antiques sale thing and picked up a couple of statuettes for seven pounds the pair. They're about ten inches high, and feel as if they're made of wood. (Too heavy to be plastic.)
I cannot find any identifying marks on them, except for an R.B. carved into each. I can't even identify the culture they come from.
I don't expect them to turn out to be lost masterpieces (apart from in my wildest dreams), and am quite prepared for them to turn out to be mass-produced or whatever, and will still keep them, but has anyone seen anything like them? Or can anyone identify the national costumes?

I suspect you're right. Oh well, they're still pretty.
