Wooden Carvings
I think they are too large to be figural pipe bowls and the circular base leads me to think that too. The depth of the hole in the head might suggest that something was intended to be held within. Perhaps there were covers/lids at some point? Years ago, someone suggested candle holders. I am unsure about them being Black Americana although that might be a possibility. Someone suggested that the facial features suggested a Caribbean origin. However, I have no idea and that's why I posted in hope of some additional thoughts. Thank you.

Could they perhaps be a humidor? I've seen chalk skulls and carved wooden figural heads used for such...

Peregrin's description of size, four inches high and six inches in circumference would likely put the function of humidor off the list.
You couldn't get much tobacco in that size of container.
