They are two anthropomorphic Phrygian caps, a symbol of France. The Phrygian cap, a soft hat typically in red, was traditionally worn by freed slaves in Phrygia, an ancient kingdom located in present-day Turkey. Since the 1789 storming of the Bastille state prison, which began the French Revolution, the Phrygian cap was worn as a symbol of liberty, including during the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. Marianne, the national personification of France, is often depicted wearing a Phrygian cap.
