From a smoke free home, please see the pictures for the best description. I am listing these for my neighbor and we were not sure exactly what they were until someone was kind enough to write and send pictures, they are actually soap, they do show some cracking and wear so I would say they would be alright to set up in a display but they are old and fragile so of course would not be good to actually use, marked on the back. There is some color loss on the front, I have added dimensions in the pictures. The pictures should show the wear they have along the sides they have some cracking but are held together just fine. They have no smell like you would assume soap would. Really unique for what they are.
