Interesting Bronze Cross, looking for an ID or thoughts

[DocBeav]

Anyone seen one of these before? I found it the other day out on the beach after some big winds and waves that cut up some of the dunes. Not sure if its old or just made to look that way. The lines and designs on it are not of uniform depth and the cross itself is not symmetrical, it is kinda lopsided which makes me think it could be hand made. At the top on the loop I see what looks like the remnants of some old silver wash like you would see on old buttons. It has designs on both sides.

Looking for help on this one. Thanks

I don't think it is old.

Search "coptic cross pendant" to see examples.

You are correct! Thanks DCMatt! Mystery solved!

Neat! Definitely looks hand made, and kind of looks Mexican. What is the green in the holes? Are there gem stones in there or is it aged copper?

The green is from the copper
