Votive offering
A votive offering or votive deposit is one or more objects displayed or deposited, without the intention of recovery or use, in a sacred place for religious purposes. The definition of religious purposes depends on your definition of Religion.
We see "freewill offerings" in the Torah which may be made by any individual. In fact all offerings are freewill offerings in both the New and Old Testaments.
It has been said that a freewill offering are נדב (nadab), differs from a votive offering are נדר (nadar). There seems to be clear differentiation made between the two with the substitution of the letter Beit with the letter Reish. נָדַב nadab [1] where the Hitpael is to volunteer, or make a freewill offering and 7נָדַר nadar[2] where the Qal is to vow a vow.
When Solomon built the first temple he provided a number of furnishings above and beyond what had been commanded to Moses on Mount Sinai. But Solomon also instituted tribute which was not freewill.
