The present figure is typical of the works produced by the Zanabazar school in Mongolia. The famous Mongolian sculptor Zanabazar (1635–1724) was the first leader of the Gelug order in Mongolia, the region's most important reincarnated lama, and the inventor of the Mongolian alphabet.

Compare with two related gilt-bronze figures of Buddha Shakyamuni, 18th century (museum nos.1994.131 and 1994.21.a-.c) in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco.

A similar gilt-bronze figure of Buddha, Mongolia, Zanabazar school, 18th century, was sold at Christie's New York, 19 March 2013, lot 219.

此尊屬蒙古扎那巴扎爾風格造像，扎那巴扎爾（1635-1724）是成吉思汗直系後裔，為第一世哲布尊丹巴呼圖克圖，章嘉呼圖克圖並蒙古藏傳佛教兩大活佛，與達賴、班禪共稱四大活佛。其本人亦對造像藝術頗有天分，創作包括音樂及畫等不同作品，佛教造像更是自成一派。

參看三藩市亞洲藝術博物館藏兩件風格類似的十八世紀銅鎏金釋迦牟尼坐像（博物館編號1994.131及1994.21.a-.c）。另見佳士得紐約曾經售出一件十八世紀扎那巴扎爾風格銅鎏金佛像，2013年3月19日，拍品編號219。
