This is a lot of three very unusual CHALKWARE FIGURINES painted in black with red accents. To be honest, I have absolutely no idea who or what they are supposed to represent, but they are still kind of cute in an unusual sort of way. They all measure around 3" to 3 3/4" high and from approximately 2 1/8" to 4" across. One of the figures appears to be a female in a dress and the other two, in their exaggerated poses seem to be wearing robes of some type. They are all painted black and have fine, bright red line accents. In very nice condition. If you have any idea what they are, I'd love to know. Could they be Japanese or other Asian figures?
