9th-10th century. 1 1/8” height, symmetrical with slender ball terminal beams and central square with a saltire one side and stippled field the other. On modern sterling silver chain. The silver restored to the cross. Saxons were late to accept Christianity and did so only after their defeat by Charlemagne in the early 9th century. It’s possible that these crosses were worn as an indication of that acceptance and by extension, submission to Carolingian rule.
