Bronze cross pendant, likely dating to the Byzantine or Crusader period (Early Medieval). The cross is formed with expanded arms ending in rounded terminals and features a central lozenge-shaped boss decorated with incised geometric cross-hatched motifs. Each arm shows stepped, architectural shaping, typical of early medieval metalwork. The surface displays a stable, dark patina with areas of lighter oxidation, consistent with age and long-term burial. The proportions and decorative treatment suggest the object functioned as a religious amulet or devotional pendant, worn suspended from a cord or chain. Such crosses were commonly worn for personal devotion and protection, and examples are known from Byzantine territories as well as regions influenced by Crusader presence.
