Compare with a dou in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Masterworks of Chinese Bronze in the National Palace Museum, (Supplement), Taipei, 1973, no. 22; p.102. Although slightly compressed in height, this dou is similar in form, with flaring finial on the lid, ring handles as well as ornamentation, using similar decorative motifs described by the Palace Museum as 'wave-crests', and triangular animal leiwen.
The design of copper inlay is similar to that on a turquoise-inlaid dou and cover in the Beijing Palace Museum collection, illustrated in Palace Museum Beijing, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Beijing, 27: Bronze Ritual Vessels and Musical Instruments, Hong Kong, 2006, no. 63.
Two examples of lidded dou with a shorter stem are illustrated by J. So in Eastern Zhou Ritual Bronzes from the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, New York, 1995, pp. 178-179, no. 24, and pp. 186-187, no. 26.
