Compare a set of similar gilt-bronze figures illustrated in Ancient Arts in the Idemitsu Collection, Japan, 1989, fig, 347; and another very similar pair of bodhisattvas included in the exhibition Buddhist Images in Gilt Metal, Taipei, 1993, no. 70. See, also, a pair of bodhisattvas from the Frederick M. Mayer Collection sold at Christie's London, 25 June 1974, lot 136, and a further, very similar, pair from the Sze Yuan Tang Collection sold at Christie's New York, 16 September 2010, lot 913.
