Funerary slab with an incised menorah

Rectangular slab of Alcover stone from the late-period necropolis of Mas Rimbau-Mas Mallol. In the centre is an incised menorah (a seven-branched candelabrum) that in late antiquity became the Jewish symbol par excellence.
The highly schematic depiction includes the foot in the form of an upturned U, the beam, with a thicker stroke, and six rounded arms based on three circle segments. The beam would be the seventh arm.
