Set of Three Historical / Themed Sculptural Busts

This image displays a set of three decorative elements, likely figurines or wall plaques, each featuring a bust of a male figure. They appear to be crafted from a resin or composite material, allowing for intricate detail and painting. The top figure depicts a man in what appears to be Tudor or Elizabethan period attire, possibly Henry VIII, characterized by a voluminous, white ruffled ruff collar, a black cap, and hints of red and blue on his garments. His face is ruddy with prominent features, suggesting an aging male. The second figure from the top features a man with a more weathered, possibly older, face, sporting what looks like a crown or elaborate headwear with intricate, possibly Nordic or Celtic, patterns. He has a patterned grayish-silver rope or braid draped across his chest. The third figure, at the bottom, also presents a distinct male bust, possibly with Middle Eastern or North African influences given his headwear and facial features, which includes a red fez-like hat and a textured silver sash. All figures exhibit a stylized, somewhat caricatured approach to their facial expressions and details. The colors are generally muted, with a focus on earthy tones for skin and more vibrant accents for clothing and accessories. While no specific maker's marks or signatures are visible, the consistent style and material suggest they may be part of a series or collection. The visible condition appears good with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant paint loss, indicating either careful handling or robust construction. The historical or cultural themes point to them being decorative pieces, possibly intended for display on a shelf or as wall adornments, reflecting a period or character theme. The craftsmanship appears to be of decent quality, with attention to sculptural detail and painted elements.
