showing fish and a sailing boat,
reminded me of the fish on top of the huge Wang Ye boats that are burnt at religious festivals in Taiwan, such as the one below from Jiali (佳里) in Tainan County.
[it probably isn't, however, since Huang says the temple is the Sheng Mu Gong (聖母宮; "Sacred Mother Temple") in Luermen (鹿耳門) and so will be dedicated to seafarers' deity Matsu, which would also explain the boat and fish]
