Hi, Good day!Can you help me identify the artist or any other info?

Of the two apparent bronze castings, the top one of a squatting figure, apparently is an African tribal medicine man. I'd speculate that it might be from Benin, which is known for its finely cast bronzes. See link below of another similar medicine man carved of wood.

The iconic figure of a mother and child embracing is stylistically more Western, possibly European or American.

I'd recommend you query other web forums specializing in bronze sculpture of these genres, as well as sources such as liveauctioneers.com for more detailed descriptions and values.

Good luck,

Bill H.
