Miniature figures historical. Location of events unknown.

Bizarre series of tableaux of puppets or miniature figures; some dressed in 18th century type costumes; some look human, others odd and gnome-like. Some in fancy dress; representing royalty or nobility. These little dolls are arranged in various settings; perhaps illustrating a story? Also a strange bit with a group of figures in white dresses or robes around a cauldron like witches; while in background other little figures are seen through arches; whisking past. Tableau of servants in a kitchen. Then a stop-motion shot of 2 monsters- - like thick lumpy clay humans with misshapen heads - grinding and pounding things in bowl, between them stands a small wizard / magician / sorcerer in a pointed hat; and facing him another human figure. Another tableau follows: some sort of village scene. Oddities; art; 1920's?
