The popularity of the style can be attested to by the discovery of a polychrome sword (picture) in the tomb of Frankish king Childeric I (died ca 481), well north of the Alps.
Popularnost stila potvrđena je i otkrićem polikromnog mača (slika) u grobnici franačkog kralja Childerica I. (umro oko 481., puno sjevernije od Alpa).]]
