SYMBOLS USED ON TOMBSTONES #sephardic

Hello,
In browsing through the Jewish cemetery in Rhodes, I noticed that often the stones would have symbols, sometimes multiple, on the upper or the lower parts of the stone. More common symbols used would be glasses, books, plants, and vases. I have photos of five tombstones on viewmate (VM 9524, 9525, 9526, 9527, and 9528). I would appreciate your comments about what the symbol is and suggestions on what it may mean or represent. You may click on the sites below: http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9524 http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9525 http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9526 http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9527 http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9528 Thank you very much.
