Lead alloy, under 7/8” (0.80”) height. A circular disk with a cross within a broad radiant halo to the front and plain cross to the back. Integral barrel shaped tubular broad loop or bail. These were produced in the Holy Land for pilgrims who wore them at home as prestige symbols. They were sold at shrines of saints where holy relics of the saints, sometimes the whole corpus, were preserved. The symbols are specific to the life and achievements of the saint. Pilgrims wore them strung as necklaces, on hats or attached to the clothing.
