It looks like a depiction of crusades era figures…
I think it came from eBay.
Turks vs. Hungary
The Great Crusades set from the Franklin Mint.
Actually they are 2000 year old depictions of warring middle eastern cross-dressing soldiers made out of stale hummus and old baklava. My dog told me so in a dream.
