Probably dating to the early medieval period (7th–10th century), this cross-slab likely served a Christian ritual or commemorative function, with the ringed cross and trapezoidal panels possibly symbolizing spiritual protection or narrative scenes. The hourglass-shaped perforation may have been used for hanging or as a symbolic representation of time or the soul.
