While it might not look like it, this pendant reads  חי (chai, or "life") in Hebrew. This is a cursive form of Paleo-Hebrew found on administrative inscriptions in the ancient city of Tel Lachish that date back to the late sixth and early seventh centuries BCE, right before the city fell to the Babylonians.

This pendant is gently domed to catch the light from different angles and is approximately 25mm in diameter.
