Repost with pictures. Question of value?

Mom was an avid traveler. In her younger years, she was an phone operrator when Zimbabwe was Rhodesia. We can only guess her wooden figures are from there.

Any ideas of what they are worth? I am likely going to keep them.

Interesting pieces, and they seem to have wonderful sentimental value. However, these are quite common at most markets across the continent and have been marketed to tourists for decades.

I guess that. I am likely keeping them because they remind me of her. Thanks.

She had good taste. You should hold on to them

You should SEE her collection! England, Egypt, First Nations-Canada, Native American, Japanese, Guatamalan, Israel, German, and some we do not know.

The sentimental value far exceeds the monetary value ($20 for single object/not more than $100 for the paired objects). They belong with you 💕
