CERAMIC CICADAS

A kind of Provençal "lucky charm", traditionally hanging near the entrance door of the house, outside or inside, or in the kitchen.

We have selected two cicadas for you: the "Olive" cicada and the "Lavender" cicada. They were born in Vallauris, where the Gullo family has hand-painted their ceramic body with beautiful olives and lemon or lavender designs.

By the way, a cicada is a "She" in France. Although, I guess, there must be some "He" cicadas too, considering the swarming number of them colonising the pine trees of Provence every year !

Available in 2 lengths:

13 cm (5.12") : A$28 - US$20.72

17 cm (6.7") : A$40 - US$29.60

There is hole at the top of the head for hanging.
