Multiple taps shower

After the 3-handled tap, here is a four-handled one (Encountered in Paraty, Brazil):

Weird shower

4 handles segregated in 2 positions: one at a regular level and one for giants (for people who “are standing on shoulders of giants”?). However, the 2 above do not work. Any clue?

    There are lost handles in basically every bathroom in Brazil…

    Sometimes when something broke, I manage to cut off all the water flow through one of those appearing useless handles…

    But mostly the others are miseries…

    I could tell you… But it’s for Brazilian ears (or eyes) only ;)

    the upper handles are for close the pipes coming from the water tank; just in case of a plumbing fix.
