Hand sculpted orthodox cross pendant with embedded garnet.
The orthodox cross is a variation of the Christian cross since the 6th century in the Byzantine Empire. 
This is a square cross with clover tip shape ends.
A cross with three circles or discs on each arm in a Christian context represents the Holy Trinity but was probably also copied from earlier Celtic Druidry, where the circles or rings represent the three dominions of earth, sky and sea.
