Compare the smaller of the two taotie mask-form necklace closing devices to one of similar shape and with similar rolled snout excavated from a Western Zhou tomb at Shangguo, Wenxi, Shanxi province, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Jades Unearthed in China - 3 - Shanxi, Beijing, 2005, p. 143. The larger may be compared to one included in the exhibition, Archaic Chinese Jades, University Museum, Philadelphia, 1940, pl. XII, no. 231.
