Stunning cross pendant!
A type of Byzantine crosses with a crown (lily) end of the shoulders. In addition to the Byzantine Empire (Greece, Turkey ...), we also know their findings from Belarus, Ukraine and Russia - the countries of the former Kievan Rus.
Similar crosses are often described as "Viking" crosses. Such crosses traveled throughout Europe during the Viking Age, a period of Nordic military, trade and demographic expansion that hit the Byzantine Empire, France, Italy, the Baltic nations and ancient Russia.
