| The hourglass is a symbol of the transitory nature of time and human experience. The two sections portray the cyclic recurrence of life and death; heaven and earth. The sand running down is the attraction of the lower nature, the world. The hourglass is also a symbol of inversion - the interplay of opposites. Death gives rise to life, good to evil - as above so below. Solid sterling silver charm is 1/2" tall. |
