The Palladion? It was a sacred image of Athene which by some accounts fell into Troy; her temple was built around it. Odysseus stole it because it was said that Troy could never fall while it still had the Palladion.

Supposedly Orestes also held the/a Palladion as a suppliant seeking Athene's protection from the Furies (Aeschylus, Eumenides).

Hope this isn't too much detail/not what you're after but I don't know exactly what you're asking for.
