I honestly find the perspective presented here disgusting. There seems to be this notion that these are "artifacts," and that therefore their history is over. To the people who paint and repair them, they are just using them for their intended purpose, the way they were always used. They are just practicing their faith. If this had been done many years ago, as I am sure it has over the statue's centuries of existence, it would just be an example of "historical cultural and religious practices." But these people today are labeled uneducated and expected to let objects of their religion fall to ruin because they are "history" now.
