Such items have been used in ancient and modern cultures and are generally made in order to gain favour with supernatural forces. They might be used year after year and passed from one generation to the next. Sometimes they are painted before the start of the worship period.

Today these bronzes have often been replaced by synthetic material and might be disposed of after the period of worship.
