Vitarkamudra signifies offering or giving.
A similar gilt-bronze figure of Buddha standing on lotus socles on a similar plinth, with the hands held in vitarkamudra in front of the chest is in the Musée Guimet, where at one time it had mistakenly been classified as Korean, but now as Chinese (no. 06351/31). A figure of Guanyin standing on lotus socles and an almost identical plinth, was sold at Christie's New York, 1 June 1990, lot 56. Another standing boddhisattva belonging to this group, from the Nitta Group Collection, was included in the National Palace Museum exhibition, The Crucible of Compassion and Wisdom, Taipei, 1987, p. 195, no. 99.
A stylistically similar, but smaller, Liao dynasty figure of Buddha standing on a less elaborate plinth was sold at Christie's New York, 19 September 2006, lot 129.
