An almost identical single ram with rider was sold in these rooms, 'Living with Design: The Collections of Walter Lees and Mr. NC.', 16 July 2010, lot 113.

Also compare a virtually identical recumbent cloisonné enamel ram in the Palace Museum, Beijing, catalogued as a brush-stand and illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum 43 Metal-bodies Enamel Ware, 2002, Hong Kong, pl. 125 p. 129.
