See Bianchi, 2002, p. 309, nos LA-1 and LA-2 and D. Barag, 'Stamped Pendants' in Spaer, 2001, p. 181, no. 371 for the type. As Barag notes, "these Jewish symbols, particularly the menorah, express the messianic hopes for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, the resumption of the three annual pilgrimage festivals, and the resurrection of the dead" (op. cit., p. 174).
