Hello, if you have more information about this item, I would like to get in contact.

Based on the inscriptions, I think these metal plaques were removed from a Buddhist Arhat statue or image.

Inscriptions,
第十七 慶友 尊者 - Qingyu, the Seventeenth Honorable
Qingyou 慶友 is the 17th among the 18 Arhats (who has gained insight intio the true nature of existednce) in Buddhism.

民國年月造 - Made during Minguo (Republic of China) times

With regards,
