Jesus like Jonah?
The carving of a fish exhaling a person found in the adjacent tomb by James Tabor and Simcha Jacobovici could indeed be early Christian iconography relating Jesus to Jonah. In that context it would corroborate a suggestion that a drawing of a fish resembling a whale, enclosing an inscription "Yeshua" (Jesus)in Hebrew/Aramaic on a piece of stone or pottery shard, detailed as number 140 in Rahmani's ossuary catalogue, originates from the Jesus family Talpiot tomb. (Check the template rather than the author's drawing.) This find is mentioned in The London Sunday Times original story as one of the artifacts shown to BBC correspondents when they came to inquire about the Talpiot tomb in 1996.
I've commented on this find in "The Bone Box" and also posted a "Jesus like Jonah" suggestion about it in a Talpiot Tomb forum on Facebook, about two years ago.

Rahmani states that Pau Figueras first discussed the fish carving #140. In Rahmani's bibliography he details four of Figueras' works, one from 1974, and three from the 80s. If the 1974 thesis mentions #140 that would exclude Talpiot provenance. But the most likely Figueras publication on this seems to be his publication from 1983 or "Jewish Ossuaries and Secondary Burials:their significance for Early Christianity" from 1984/5. Indeed, Rahmani specifies at #140 : "bibl Figueras 1983:21, 105-108." If that is correct, Rahmani # 140 must have surfaced sometime after 1978 (not mentioned in Jack Finegan's "The Archeology of the New Testament" , 1978) and before 1983. That would be in the ballpark for Talpiot.
While struggling to hide the true meaning of the recent Talpiot Tomb findings, the Jesus Discovery team blunders into a trap set by the Hebrew author of the Book of Revelation, exposing Christian Rome's darkest secret to the bright light.

The symbology on those two ossuaries are verifiable and timed stamped messages that leaves no doubt it is the work of a prophet. More importantly though, it is the work of a Hebrew prophet with intimate knowledge of deeply encoded details within the Book of Revelation. This helps to prove that Revelation was authored before the destruction of the Temple, which contradicts many pivotal assertions about the New Testament. They have opened Pandora's box and now the truth has escaped...
