Antique cast iron coffin handle circa 1900
With the motive of a winged hourglass.
Indeed the hourglass evokes the inexorable passage of time, each grain of sand representing a day of our life.
The hourglass is presented with the wings of a dove or an angel, both messengers of God, as if the instrument for measuring time became, with death, the soul that the dove or angel will carry to heaven.
By its reversible side, the hourglass evokes the ability of a new life or true life when it is turned over to restart a cycle.
