From my mother collection.
Wasn't able to find any similar...
From the cannons, I think they are official seals/stamps, Cambodian or Siamese (Thaï).
Biggest has cannons on both sides.
Medium one has a warrior deity on largest face and lotus blossoms on smallest.
Little one has a kneeling person offering a box on largest face and a bunch of foliage above ondulating lines.
Dimensions are height 4.6/16 to 2.5 inches.
Detective's help needed!
Beautiful! I will show my Cambodian gardener! He is good friend, he was shot through side during Vietnam war on border at same area as me! He is a little angry because I get good benefits, but he got to come here and raised 5 children, all successful!
EXTRAORDINAIRES !!!!!!!!

Hi
kyratango.
I will guess something here, i believe they are trade seal,from merchant, long time ago.
The 2 smallest was for grain or?and spice, the larger for ammunition,the problem is,i don't see initial(family initial or merchant).
For sure they made to use by hand(small grove in the middle), for or maybe for seal contract with other, with red wax.
Very nice item,i love it.
Take care
Alan
Sean, thanks! Roycroft :-)) many thanks too!
Alan, your comment is very interesting, it's possible, but still a mystery :-)
Thanks Ron1939 and Catteann :-)
These are really cool! Wish I could help...
Phil, I wish you the best, hoping bad things will be left behind the end of 2014!
Tkx Bratjdd and Armyeng for your love :-)
I love the old seals but I have never seen The Asian seals like these. These are cool.
