- There is a pencil drawing (WD958 f.6 (198)) at the British Library, in the Horsfield Collection that looks nearly identical to 1939,0311,0.8.56. Both drawings show the same sculpture. Although some details are different, it is possible that the same artist drew both versions. There are no annotations on the BL version. According to the BL database notes, the temple guardian could be from Candi Singasari.
