Thank you Kakunen for sharing your experience.
"Simple" English is best (not really simple) for truly communicating, I think.
I hope to meet you at Jundo's Zendo.

WowThe Halo is not, in my understanding, found in the earliest Buddhist iconography (which, by the way, did not depict the physical form of the Buddha at all, but only an empty space, an empty seat, a tree, the Dharma Wheel or footprints to represent the Buddha). Such influences developed on the Silk Road, which is why there is much Greek influence in traditional Buddhist art as far away as Japan and Korea. More about that here:
This fellow explains:
Another Asian art blog add:
The statues such as Kakunen shows are old and wooden, with fragile surfaces and paint, so they cannot be bathed. I assume that they are carefully dusted from time to time. Certainly, offerings are made daily as part of the temple schedule, so that you can see in the video (1:00 mark) the incense burner, tea cup, flowers and candle holders in front of the 16 Arhat statues.
We have one Arhat in our Zendo in Tsukuba, by the way (or, I suspect is an Arhat), quite large (about 3 ft/100cm tall). I also have struggled to identify specifically which of the Arhats he is. He holds a fly-swatter and shouts or laughs at the sky, dressed as a Zen Master ...

. I mean, I considered the halo to be the oldest thing in terms of Indian art. I saw Zoroastrian images and there was a halo on the images of Ahura Mazda and Mitra(here). I believed that the same was present in the images of Surya and Agni, since the Indo-Iranian culture was fire-worshipping. I thought that Buddhist iconography adopted Vedic features. But the earliest images of a halo in India were in the 2nd-1st century BC after the conquests of Alexander the Great. Sorry for the nerd
