I've also posted some buddhist statues a week before and have no luck.

Judging by the patina and the colors, the figures can be 1880's or even newer, maybe first half 20 century should be considered, but im no specialist.

The carving seems to be executed quickly, you can observe this in the hands and feet of both figures. But dont discard the altar use.

I found some usefull information in this website, hope it helps:

All the best,
