The unique round silver pendant with the motif of either an angel or an orant or a saint most probably comes from the polycultural settlement in the cadastre of Tatce, Kolín distr., in the fertile Elbe River region in central Bohemia. It was found in 2012. The pendant can be unequivocally interpreted as a Christian protective amulet. The finding broadens the range of items connected to the earliest Christianity in Bohemia during the 2nd half of 9th – 11th c.
