I know that sometimes people bury St. somebody (sorry can't remember who) in their yard to help sell their house, maybe this is related to that type of custom? If not, still pretty cool to dig those up in your yard!

That would be St. Joseph and I doubt these represent him! Maybe Don Quixote?

Hmmmm, why would anybody bury art? Seems simple enough, stolen.

That is a cool find! I guess there ain't no markings on the bottom?

 

[Redtogo]

no markings that I can find, this no Saint! looks more like the devil
Looks a bit like Don Quixote, but is hunched over with arms wrapped around himself and too evil looking
Cheers Red
