Probably used for ceremonial purposes.

If you didn’t have TV or movies or such....you more or less invented your own evening entertainment. There were probably sixty different ceremonies throughout the year, for just about everything under the sun.

"You know, if I were a single man, I might ask that gold figurine out.
That's a good-looking gold figurine."

Normally I like ancient artifacts, but these are so ugly that I want to melt them down and make the gold into something beautiful!

The head is elongated with a protruding jaw and incised hair. The breasts are sagging and below both shoulders are notches.....

Makes sense. TV was probably ‘scarce’ back then, anyway.

I liked Gumby. Clay-mation animation was in its infancy, back then, but he was entertaining.

“What’s not to like about Gumby?”

The whole claymation thing freaked me out as a little kid. I was born in ‘46. I knew stuff didn’t move the way claymation made them move.

One more descriptor: “The face is stretched tighter than Buddy Rich’s snaredrum”.
