The figures exceptionally well carved, the male with classical features and simple archaic face holding a chiefly staff in on one hand, the other to the abdomen, with fine patination and area where a skirt was once worn clearly visible, the second a matched female with heavy iron neck ring added, the face similarly carved in archaic form, the arms to the sides with hands on the center of the belly, original skirt intact. A rare and magnificent pair of figures. On custom bases
