vividly colored pattern in red

These are from a group of wonderful old handmade animals I found this past weekend in New Hampshire (and splurged a bit on as I think they're pretty special)--I believe from a Noah's Ark set

Box--which is well worn and features old blue tape along one edge as reinforcement--measures 2 1/2" tall x 1 5/8"w  x 1 1/4" d

Each is about 3 1/2" long x 5/8" tall and wide without posts

Serene Feeling Folk Art Larger Carved Head, Mounted to Custom Base wounded figure vividly colored pattern in redThis carved folk art head feels to me very serene; if he were he to have a body, I believe he would be sitting cross legged on the floor! He also has a bit of the aspect of an alien, as in from outer space. (And if you happen to follow the Celtics, doesn't he look a little like Derric White, ha!?) I really don't know much other than he came to me from the collection of Joey Lin, Anonymous Works, and that he surprises me every time I look at him
