I will be posting a few "gallow-oids" soon, but I haven't found any of these
embellishments before 1260. And browsing through a book on paleography I
noticed that these ornaments are mostly related with merovingian and
carolingian official documents. Much too early for us I think.

I would very much like to take a look at them.
