Über den Zweck dieser sogenannten „Bildhauermodelle“ gibt es zwei Denkrichtungen. Da sie klein sind, normalerweise Gottheiten oder Könige darstellen und oft unvollendet sind, ist es plausibel, dass es sich um Demonstrationsstücke handelte, die ein Bildhauerlehrling nachahmen sollte. Alternativ könnte es sich um in Tempeln deponierte Votivgaben gehandelt haben.
