This vessel has close parallels to several unearthed in Shaanxi province, which are illustrated by Robert Bagley, Shang Ritual Bronzes in the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, 1987, p. 511, figs. 100.1-100.3. All share the same body shape, similar foot and a broad main band of boss-and-diamond pattern. The upper decorative band on the Sackler yu, however, with its depiction of what appear to be elephants or dragons with elephant trunks, is very unusual.
