The inscription is a graph inside a yashing with another graph below. The same inscription is on a jue in the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, illustrated by R. Bagley, Shang Ritual Bronzes in the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, 1987, p. 245, fig. 34.1. The author notes that similar gu were found in the tomb of Fu Hao and that the casting of matched pairs or sets was common during the Anyang period.
