SEA brass warriors, circa 1930...help ID? comments?

katana · 2nd September 2007, 04:15 PM

Not a weapon...but two interesting warrior statuettes. Not certain as to the origins (Siam? Indonesia?

) circa 1930's. The hair style may help.

One has two 'tonfa' type weapons and the second has lost his ....he has a hole in each hand which line up with each other....probably to hold a spear or staff....rather than two seperate weapons like escrima sticks
Can anyone help ID their origins and suggest what sort of weapon the second would have been holding (so I can make a replacement.) To give an idea of scale....if they were standing upright they would be approx 14" (35 cms) tall.

All comments, suggestions and help gratefully received, thank you

Regards David
