A late 19th century cast iron coffin handle deeply rooted in the tradition of memento mori, a literal reminder of human mortality. At its centre rests a prominent winged hourglass, a classical motif symbolising tempus fugit, or the relentless flight of time. The feathers of the outstretched wings represent the swiftness with which life passes.

Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Structurally sound. Discolouration and age related rusting.

Measures 21cm x 10cm
