Interesting !

Could you post a photo where one can see the full back side of the metal item ?
Is it made of bronze ?

What is that first item made of? Looks like straw out the end, but it could be hair? And the bindings... are they... what

The last item, as you mentioned possibly being made of hair... do I have the first and third items confused?

In the pictures presented, the last two appear to be metal. No idea on the history at this point. Any history on the area?
