The statues appear to be a set of three Chinese Buddhist deities, the Western Pure Land Trinity (also known as the Western Three Saints or the Three Buddhas). They are made of a bronze with aged patina finish and stand on lotus bases.
Left Buddhas (Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva): This Buddha is generally identified as Mahasthamaprapta, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom. In the image, this Buddha holds a vase in their left hand.
Center Buddha (Amitābha Buddha): is Amitābha, the Buddha of Infinite Light and Life, and the principal Buddha of the Pure Land school of Buddhism. He is often depicted in a standing posture with hands in a specific mudra, though here the hands appear to be holding a small bowl. The swastika symbol (卐) on the chest is an ancient auspicious symbol associated with the Buddha and is common on such statues.
Right Buddha (Guanyin/Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva): is Guanyin (Kwan Yin in Chinese), the Bodhisattva of Compassion, or Avalokiteśvara. Guanyin is holds a long stem with a flower.
