They are Medieval and show a Dance of the Dead. According to the info 
with the original model, they should be from Pieve Di Cadore in Italy. 
However, I have been unable to find mention of them on Internet, not 
even on the town's official site. Mystery. Also, they appear to have 
been composited from at least two different sources.

They might be indeed. Which reminds me of 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' by 
Walter Miller Jr. No doubt, that book inspired part of this image if not 
this series.

In fact, the Martians are a little joke in this series. Its /real/ topic 
is a post-industrial world.
