They are obviously raffia work micro phalluses (phallii?) used in local fertility celebrations!! Am I right?
Well they remind me of things you put over the side of the boat to stop it banging against the wharf except being raffia or such that is probably not very practical.
Close, mutley! Cherrypie and Chervil - excellent guesses. I always knew my secrets woud be safe with you, James! I see your logic, MM. Brilliant guess, jmb. Ciao di nuovo, James.
I'm a sort-of retired language teacher from Cardiff, Wales, UK, now trying to make a new life in Sicily. I'm not growing vines, making olive oil or restoring a palace stone by stone!

Wine bottle coolers?
Mhh - bottle shaped, maybe to hide your best olive oil in?
I know, I know but I'm not allowed to say. At least they keep them out of the way of little mouths.
Are they anything to do with cooking rice?

Individual chilli holders? perfect for saving little mouths from burning....
For rolling things.
No, that doens't tie in with James's clues.
That's original , jams! Good idea, Liz. They were, in fact, ricotta holders.
