    I haven't got a clue what these are, I'm guessing they are money banks ?
    I got them with a load with of African masks and African figures.
    I'm guessing that they are from Africa ?
    They are really unusual, they have a slit at the top which makes it look like a money box. They are well painted with multicoloured patterns.

    That's all I got.
    I hope someone can help me out finding out what they are and where and when they was made ?
