An identical bronze you with the same inscription and possibly the mate to the present piece from the Avery Brundage Collection is illustrated in Wu Zhenfeng, Shang Zhou Qingtongqi Mingwenji Tuxiang Jicheng (A Collection of Inscriptions and Images of Shang and Zhou Archaic Bronzes), Shanghai, 2012, vol. 23, no. 13032 where the author notes that the Avery Brundage you was in the collection by 1941.

The inscription on the current lot matches the inscription illustrated for a you, op. cit., no. 13033, and there is a possibility that the inscription illustrated was taken from the present piece.

A similar example but with a twisted rope handle, dated to the late Shang dynasty, was found at Shandong Teng Xian and is illustrated in Jessica Rawson, Western Zhou Ritual Bronzes from the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, vol. IIB, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1990, pl. 70.3.
