I think that these are both Quanyin - one on the right is very heavy and older than the one on the left. They represent both the male and female manifestations of Quanyin. I call the figures w/ the multiple arms and magic objects 'Multi-taskers'. I would love to know how these are interpreted by a Hindi person / scholar. They are both very large. The male form is about 15.5 inches tall and the female is 14 inches tall. But the male one weighs about ten times more than the female one.
Lord Shiva, no ???
Hindu, not Buddhist (and therefore not Quanyin).
*digs a bit* Ah, looks like this is Vishnu on the right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishnu
Looks like the Vishnu statue is missing his mace in his lower right hand, which is visibly damaged.
That probably means the female figure is Lakshmi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakshmi
The two small figures in picture #4 are of course Ganesha.
Hindu, not Buddhist.
