These are not caryatids. They are herms. Caryatids are full figures carved in the round used as a supporting column. A herm is only the head or torso of a figure atop a square section base. Usually free standing but can replace an engaged colonnette, as these sculptures were originally used. They do not function as a supporting architectural element.

Those are herms. Caryatids have limbs. But perhaps they are modern herm statues of caryatids, since herms are traditionally male and caryatids are traditionally female.
