This is a pair of unsigned menuki featuring designs from the Eight Views of Omi. One depicts Ishiyama Akizuki (Autumn Moon at Ishiyama), showing Ishiyama-dera temple on a silicified tuff rock with a bright moon. The other represents Hira Boseki (Evening Snow on Mount Hira), resembling Mount Fuji but actually Mount Hira, known for snow remaining on its peak even as the weather warms. This is a fine quality piece.
