They are hand carved and I think the wood is teak. Only 3 pieces have the artists signature on them. I wasn't sure if they were chess pieces, but that's what I was told. My Great Uncle was an avid collector of fine quality art, and since these belonged to him, I assumed they were quality. I was hoping I could get some info on the artist, but I've been coming up empty for years.

I have had these figures for over 36 years. I was told many years ago that they were chess pieces; however, I'm not really sure if they are or not. this is my entire collection. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this type of sculpture or if anyone has heard of the artist C. Schuppel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you
