Adama's quarters was a bit different in the miniseries. There seem to be some decor there that maybe doesn't appear later on. I suspect that these puppies are a couple of fencing masks:
Fencing is formalized dueling. These particular masks don't have the white trim that is more typical of modern masks. Could be vintage, leather-trimmed.
Did they have horses on Caprica? Apparently. Found this statue (possibly bronze or bronze-like):
It's a Tang Dynasty-era Chinese war horse. Similar statues can be found pretty easily through a Google or eBay search. Haven't located this exact one, yet. I suspect it's because the set designer/set decorator/prop master has a personal grudge against me and likes to use items that are either extremely hard-to-find or that are one-offs. Thanks a bunch, set person.
Never mind...I love you, set designer/set decorator/prop master. You've put together a very interesting collection of items. Even better, they all seem to have reasons for being there. It's not like you just grabbed whatever popped up at a local Vancouver rummage sale. Helmets off to you!

In several of the episodes (including Taking a Break from All Your Worries) in Season 3, a buddha head head on a stand is visible:
Update: This one is a puzzler. Could it be daikoku? Perhaps Ebisu - the Japanese god of fishing? I can't seem to find a match for this statue anywhere.
Most of the items I find of interest are in the background in Adama's quarters.
Season 3, episodes 12 & 13 (I think I have that number right...)
This helmet appears in the background:
