Sacred pendants were worn by pilgrim or other religionists. Most are not dated very old: 19th/20th century with many made out of alluminium. The alluminium types can be very corroded. Besides pendants crosses with small pieces of wood can be found. The pendants always depict a holy person/ wonder or type of religion/ certain church. 

Among small religious artifacts old crosses can also be found. The types above even still have fragments of wood inside!
