- together with some joss sticks all lit up and burning and some golden oranges as offerings.

in my part of the world, it is not uncommon to find some cultures that believe gold, and all its imitations, are harbingers of luck and good fortune.

so, the most logical answer i could give to most of the questions posted is that this stuff like this one, are not for collectors like us.

correct me if you have other theories...
