I don't know what these are, I found them for sale with some other Hindu God figurines.
They are very small, only about 1.5" tall.
The second picture is the bottom of the case. I really like the craftsmanship in these, I just wish I knew what they are.
I'm not sure what they are made of, I think a chalky substance.
Anyways, even if they are just a trinket I will still be happy to know what they are! Thank you!
The only thing that comes to mind is ink blocks. usually decorated black, but sometimes in various colors. as yours. Here are some with more information:

Wow TA, I hope this gets a deserved 'Solved' status. So, not ink blocks, but Thai amulets. Completely new to me and good on you.
yup wexzal they are amulets at first i didnt recognise them as usually some asians/thais put them in small clear casings and wear them with a string around their neck.
