Did people not just buy things for decoration in the Roman empire?
Seems like we try to attach deep meaning to everything discovered in older civilizations. When many could just have some mundane meaningless purpose like decoration.
Imagine the poor future people that seek to find meaning in the unearthed funko pops and gold spray painted pine cones of our time.

Yeah, someone probably made it out of passion once, others liked it so much they offered him lot of money or fame, the art proliferated. Some artists created similar models, some modified on top of it.
Not every object but every type of object. There have been hundreds of these things, and none of them have been depicted elsewhere, nor described in writing that has survived.
Imagine the poor future people that seek to find meaning in the unearthed funko pops and gold spray painted pine cones of our time.
