An almost identical fragment was sold at Christie's New York, 19 September 2007, lot 153, which was also published in J. E. Vollmer, Silks for Thrones and Altars: Chinese Costumes and Textiles from the Liao Through the Qing dynasty, Myrna Myers, Paris, 2003, p. 122, no. 62.

Also, compare the similar, but slightly larger example on red silk, dated Yuan or early Ming dynasty, in the National Gallery, Prague, depicting a standing Buddha, illustrated by L. Hajek, Chinese Art, London, 1966, p. 228.
