The proportions and cast decoration of the present gu are very similar to that of lot 2035, however, the blades on the neck of the present vessel incorporate inverted taotie masks while the blades on the neck of lot 2035 are filled with leiwen pattern.
Two bronze gu with very similar cast decoration, including the inverted taotie masks set within the blades on the neck, are illustrated by R.W. Bagley in Shang Ritual Bronzes in the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, The Arthur M. Sackler Foundation, 1987, pp. 248-53, nos. 36 and 37.
