      No banana for comparison, so quoting frim the article ^^ “The wings of this cicada are 1.7cm long, about 0.8cm wide, and only 0.2mm thick – like two little pieces of gold organdie. The leaf is 5.2cm long, 3.2cm wide, and 0.2cm thick, and is made from a piece of first-class Hotan jade from Xinjiang.”

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world
