“Woe! (It’s a pity!) Hanina, Son of Hanina, [May he(?)] ascend!”Funerary reliefs like this one from Palmyra, Syria, were used to seal off a burial chamber within a tomb. The image of the deceased is identified by the Aramaic inscription carved beside the head (see text above). (Limestone, 3rd Century A.D. In Glencairn’s Roman and Early Christian Gallery) -- source link
