    These little guys are about six inches tall. The girl is playing a corded instrument and the boy is doing some sort of martial arts maneuver with a stick. The instrument and stick are held to the hands via a pin, The garments are intact but sun bleached. The heads are wood. The hands are plastic though. Quite the mystery...

      These were very popular in the 50's , made in Hong Kong the head is likely not wood but made to look like it . Very cute .
