See a late Shang dynasty bronze jue cast with a three-character inscription reading Wu Zu Gui 𠆸祖癸, in the Shanghai Museum, Shanghai, published in The Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, ed., Yinzhou jinwen jicheng [Compendium of Yin and Zhou bronze inscriptions], Beijing, 2007, no. 08360.
