The figure is whimsical indeed. The detail is not well defined, more like a suggestion. The upright figure may be a fox in disguise. He's in early American colonial clothing, and his pony tail is held in check with a couple of ribbons. The rooster appears to have a muzzle over its beak.

Hi J.D. My thoughts were also on the colonial look to these.There painted front and back. The back is just paint. Thank you
