此尊鎏金蒙古金剛佛母銅像，甚為罕見，底座蓮瓣造型誇張，乃蒙古典型，從中可知其源。本尊形像圓潤，軀體曲線柔和，面容慈悲，有別於西藏造像輪廓分明之特質。然而本像造型，全皆出自藏傳佛教。比較一例，造型相近，現藏於巴黎吉美國立亞洲藝術博物館，約製於1700年，圖載於 Marylin M. Rhie 及 Robert A.F. Thurman，《Wisdom and Compassion: The Sacred Art of Tibet》，紐約，1991年，頁261，圖版94。

比較數例，蓮座相近，包括內蒙古察哈爾約製於1700年之文殊菩薩及觀音坐像各一，現藏斯德哥爾摩 Folkens Museum Etnografiska，出處同上，頁144-145，圖版35及36。再比較一蒙古十八世紀鎏金銅勝樂金剛立像，蓮座及軀體造型與面容刻劃均與本像相近，售於倫敦蘇富比2016年11月9日，編號132。

另可比較十九世紀蒙古鎏金銅例，現藏 Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art，圖載於 Barbara Lipton 及 Nima Dorjee Ragnubs，《Treasures of Tibetan Art: Collections of the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art》，紐約，1996年，編號53。
