Charming paper mache figures - various parachuting clowns, and at right two of many different varieties of viejitos (old Mexican peasants) approximately 12-inches tall. Far right, a closeup of one.
Several types of brass figures: at left, Don Quixote. (We also have his sidekick, Sancho Panza.) Right, graceful ballerinas. The figures are about a foot tall.
