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.
