tombstones, among others in Gniezno and Koło, as an architectural detail in several churches and in a castle in Oporów near Kutno, as well as a symbol of the founders of the various ecclesiastical jewels - precious chalice, books.

In 1397, the name of the family and the coat of arms appeared in court records Łęczyca voivodeship (record de cleynodio Sulima).
