These wooded figures came from a estate so I don't really know how old they deals are. The good luck symbol on the hand drum leads me to believe that they are pre-World War II . But I could be wrong because it is a symbol used today although I know these are not recent and are vintage at least 50 years old
Four of the figures seem to be in good shape however the flute is missing on the fifth one and the string instrument is broken on the six.
They could use the little bit of cleaning but other than what mentioned they seem to be in good shape.
They are approximately 2 1/2 inches tall x 2 inches wide
In 2008, at the second Hindu-Jewish Leadership Summit a resolution formally recognized the long positive history of the swastika
It reads, “Swastika is an ancient and greatly auspicious symbol of the Hindu tradition. It is inscribed on Hindu temples, ritual altars, entrances, and even account books. A distorted version of this sacred symbol was misappropriated by the Third Reich in Germany, and abused as an emblem under which heinous crimes were perpetrated against humanity, particularly the Jewish people. The participants recognize that this symbol is, and has been sacred to Hindus for millennia, long before its misappropriation.”
