During the period of the Migration of Peoples, the brooch cicada is mainly represented in the costumes of children and young women.
Cicadas were considered a symbol of resurrection and were placed in the tomb of the deceased as jade jewellery in ancient China. The shape was often used in the Black Sea region, Pannonia and by the time of the Roman occupation it had spread to Great Britain and all of Europe.
