中央研究院歷史語言研究所1936年第13次發掘所得,屬第一期武丁時期的甲骨。此龜腹甲實物僅餘上半部,表面平整。為一雙刀刻的卜辭,比單刀刻卜辭更接近筆寫的原貌,筆劃中間有填硃。內容是祭祀祖先及有關天象的記載。
Obtained in the Institute of History and Philology's 13th excavation in 1936, it is an oracle bone belonging to the first period of the time of Wu Ding. Only the upper half part of this tortoise plastron remains, its surface smooth and level. The divination inscription was carved twice over, which, compared to oracular inscriptions carved with a single pass, comes even closer to the original appearance of the brushed writing. The brushstrokes have been filled in with vermillion.
The contents are records of ancestral sacrifices and meteorological concerns.
