Unusual figural set, 4.3" Kings

A bit of an oddity, this one.  I think likely from the late 20th century. The pieces are a kind of resin, I think, but they sound very wood-like as they tumble against one another.  Really attractive design - look almost like a nativity scene.  One side in faded turquoise/blue, the other in faded red/copper colour.  I can't work out if the paint is faded, or if they were originally made like this.  Whichever, this is not a set to be played with in low light conditions!
