Cross pendant

Equal-armed silver cross pendant with band-shaped hanging loop. The arms curve strongly outwards; decorated with niello ring and dot decoration. The back is smooth and undecorated. In size the cross is comparable with many of the contemporary silver coins, which makes it probable that it was made using coins. Grave find, Birka, Bj 835, Adelsö Parish, Uppland.
