An object, such as a skull, intended to remind people of the inevitability of death. On both sides of the symbol there is a cross with very unique ornaments and roses around with ruby color stone in the middle. Below the book there is an hourglass, this symbol associates with life, death, permanence, the past, the future, and the temporary. For those conscious of the world’s fragility, the hourglass represents life. It was the only symbol that could depict both the past and the present at the same time, so it came to represent both life and death. Its sands would flow regardless of the elements around it—just as a person’s life winds down at a steady pace, regardless of their good or bad deeds—so it was also used to instill a fear of death into people.
