Very nice item.

I have no clue about date - it could be anything from Medieval to 19th century.  Given the fabrication and style my guess is it is a fairly local item.  I would check through museums in your region.

To me it looks like a crucifix applique.

As mentioned  absent more info, it could be medieval and onward. The bevelled faster holes in the hands would typically indicate industrial revolution or newer, as rivets or nails would not typically be bevelled so consistently if it were ancient.
