Both are in good overall condition. One figure has had old repairs to both index fingers. (They have been glued back on where they attach to the hand.) The other figure has had two fingers re-attached to the same hand. Very good quality carving. Well painted. Minor dings and wear to the corner edges of the bases. They date to the mid-20th century.
