This gu belongs to a set of bronzes which has been traced together by Li Xueqin & Sarah Allan (Ouzhou suocang Zhongguo qingtongqi yizhu, Peking 1995, no 15 and 29): The set includes three gu vessels with the same pattern of marching elephants: In addition to the one in Stockholm, there is one gu in the Idemitsu Museum, Tokyo, and one gu in the collection of the dealer Christian Deydier in London. B. Karlgren mentions a gu of the same type in the collection of C.T. Loo (BMFEA, vol. 21, p. 7), this might be idetical with the Deidier gu.
