The hoard has not yet been fully published.); apart from isolated examples, such as the spoons from late cemeteries mentioned below.

^{page 62 note 6} See Brett's discussion of this question, ibid, 37 ff. His own arguments for Germanic influence and a technical link with chip-carving are not, however, convincing. It is difficult to believe that this type of decoration owed anything to chip-carving; nor is it clear that a gouge was in fact used. It is surely more likely that inspiration flowed the other way round, and in any case there would seem to be a closer connexion between chip-carving and niello-filled ornament such as that on, for example, two pieces in the Kaiseraugst Treasure: no. 9 and part of the formal decoration on no. 3.
