Votive offerings to saints are still a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Votive_offering#Western_Christianity
A couple of interesting books on the subject are Sainthood in the Later Middle Ages, by André Vauchez, and Surviving Poverty in Medieval Paris, by Sharon Farmer.
Also, here's a shameless plug - I wrote my master's thesis about this, downloadable here: https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?dswid=3270&pid=diva2%3A1769074&c=2&searchType=SIMPLE&language=sv&query=servants+on+earth&af=%5B%5D&aq=%5B%5B%5D%5D&aq2=%5B%5B%5D%5D&aqe=%5B%5D&noOfRows=50&sortOrder=author_sort_asc&sortOrder2=title_sort_asc&onlyFullText=false&sf=all
Dinosaurs on this page are corythosaurus and camptosaurus.
Nice panel of the church interior! It reminded me that here in Switzerland, in some mountain areas, people also used to offer wooden models of hands and feet ^^
In an alternative medieval Central Europe, where the dinosaurs never went extinct, a scribe and a musician become friends as they venture on a quest to find a job.
