    I have since sold these--but I never did find out their origin. Made a decent profit anyway. Still puzzling, and maybe someone here now can identify them.

      Painted rajasthani gangaur isar statues carved goddess and her consort isar.

      The holy gangaur festival is celebrated by women and the goddess is worshipped for conjugal bliss. The gangaur idol is depicted differently depending on the region and community of the devotee. This couple is used widely in homes for decoration as a pair.

      Here are similar:

      Lady Sex Goddess, worshiped for" conjugal bliss" you say Kyra??? So if something is missing in the marriage, this Goddess gets right into the act and fixes it, huh??

      Whooo, LOL PCC! I first thought you were calling me Lady Sex Goddess ;-D
      It seems this is all about conjugal bliss! Perhaps this include fertility???
