Lmao the statue is blushing too.

Also, I am fairly certain we won't be adding a tag for this, but what is the term where the patina of a copper/bronze statue is worn off due to repeated touches and abrasure?

For example: There is a bronze male grave in france who has his crotch shiny because women kept touching it for fertility, and a female statue in ?Dutch? whose breasts are touched for good luck?

I'm not sure if there's a specific word for it, but isn't it just called "statue rubbing"?

If a tag had to be made, it'd probably have to be something like "statue burnishing" as the act of burnishing can apply to multiple things, not just this specific cultural ritual.
