More info
They would have been taken into the “society house” (similar to a meeting place, church, shrine) and used for various rituals or individual, personal issues
Also, FYI, bronzes such as this are made in the lost wax process, where a mold is put over a wax original, the wax burned out, and the void replaced with molten metal
