Intriguing for 2 reasons (2) it's a cicada! Best known ex from Childeric's 5thC grave, but these possibly Hunnic:pic.twitter.com/9JM2Yj9nKr

Treasure report states no other cloisonné cicadas, but are in fact known from Ostrogothic contexts eg Domagnano hoardpic.twitter.com/hDGsqHxma3

Also 5thC cloisonné Ostrogothic cicadas from Novae, Moesia, but no pics atm, so a garnet decorated one from Crimea :)pic.twitter.com/uUrScHvL74
