These definitely aren’t the things that people today would consider “modern”. For a time, perhaps, these were viewed as ultra-posh, modern items. The “praying” piggy with cherubim wings sure does look cute, though.
I guess this is a metaphor for greed or gluttony? I mean thinking and securing your needs is a must but do not overdo it. Too much of something is wrong!!! Greed is good but not that way.
I dont see anything modern in these. However, modernity and trying to technology savvy has made us to forget the old ways of doing things which if done that way would still be beneficial to us. Funny enough I still have a piggy bank at home for the good old way to save those little cash.
For me, piggy bank remains a necessity for most people, especially children. The simplicity of a piggy bank can give us a kind of suggestion to set aside money properly, especially for coins.

This is something worth remembering from our childhood. Black and white filter makes it more memorable.

Well, the need I see there is to save money, to remodel this place, you just need a touch up to make everything look beautiful.
