Orthodoxcoins:
Origin - First Bulgarian Empire (681 - 1018).
Time - end of IX - X century.
Function - Christian lead  sign (amulet) worn on the neck.
Knjaz St. Boris I obliges all the Bulgarians to bring Christian symbols after the conversion to Christianity (865 AD).
Your item is a common and cheap "variant" of those signs.
