I'd like your opinion on this cross. It looks like it could be Byzantine, except it's smaller and lighter than other Byzantine crosses I've seen. It's only 3.8 g and 35 x 20 mm. It appears to be copper or maybe bronze. It has a very thick patina, so I do believe it's pretty old. What do you think?

Looks early byzantine. The stigmates signs disappeared later from crosses - somewhen after IX century.

Byzantine. 3-5 century. bronze. I have two such, but not so nice and very scarce :'(
