Possibly a cross or crucifix. If it were something ordinary like a chair or goblet not much would have been reported. So, I suspect that an unusual religious article, maybe even book, was found.
Jesus didn't spend a lot of time in Jerusalem, having only visited it two or four times (depending on the source) before he died on the cross.

Possibly a cross or crucifix. According to the CBN article, also posted above, it is an icon.

What do you make of the Gospel of John? Or do you reject it as a source? That has at least five distinct visits, not counting the raising of Lazarus, and Luke has two more, for a minimum of 7. As an observant male adult was expected to make all 3 of the pilgrimage feasts annually, it seems reasonable to assume more unrecorded.
