Hanging bronze cross with figure holding skull

This is a hanging piece and has two little cups on either side of the main arms of the cross.  The cups appear newer than the rest.  The main part of the cross is fairly crudely cut or formed metal and appears to be cut not molded.  The figure in the middle seems to be holding a skull in one hand and a sword in the other... though it also looks a bit like a goblet with something coming out of the side of the head and streaming into it, can't tell.  There are small circles stamped all over the piece.  The center circle consists of two pieces joined together and slightly convex, joined with little bits of wire through holes.  Don't know what this is exactly.  the little cups wiggle around so don't think they could hold a candle, maybe incense?  Would love to know what this is...
