Necklace and Pendant Cross
Rock crystal was a prized material because specialized artisans carefully carved pieces out of solid blocks of the rare transparent crystal, a luxury import. This necklace is thought to have been found near a Christian church dedicated to the popular warrior saint Theodore Stratelates. The necklace may have belonged to a high-ranking bishop there.
