A rare and evocative stone amulet, dating to the late Iron Age to early medieval period (circa 5th–10th century AD). The amulet is carefully shaped into a compact geometric form and features a suspension perforation, indicating it was intended to be worn. Multiple faces of the amulet are incised with X-shaped (saltire) symbols, a motif widely recognized in early European cultures as apotropaic, intended to ward off evil and provide protection. Such symbols are characteristic of pre-Christian and early medieval belief systems, particularly within Germanic, Northern European, and related cultural spheres. The absence of inscriptions or overt religious imagery suggests the amulet belongs to a symbolic and protective tradition predating formal Christian iconography, though such symbols continued into the early Christian era. The surface shows authentic age-related wear and patination, consistent with ancient stone objects, with no indications of modern manufacture.
