One features of these figures is the use of moulds in the casting process, resulting in there being very similar figures dispersed amongst private collections across the globe. For bronze figures from this period and region, but in different poses and sizes, see: Christie's New York, 20 Mar 2024, lot 502 [link]; and Bonhams Hong Kong, 2 October 2018, lot 171 [link]. 本件拍品屬於一組西藏西部地區發造之銅鎏金/銅製供奉像。該組造像之特徵之一為鑄造過程中使用了模具，致使極為相似之尊像散見於全球私人收藏中。關於同時期及地區、然姿勢與尺寸不同之銅像，可參考：紐約佳士得，2024年3月20日，拍品編號502；以及香港邦瀚斯，2018年10月2日，拍品編號171。
