Behind the Masonic Symbol: The Hourglass

Quote:
Ohio Freemasons first encounter the Hourglass during the lecture of the third degree, where it is explained to be an emblem of human life. It represents the continuous passing of time and serves as a reminder that life is finite. Additionally, the two containers of the hourglass are an analogy on their own: that the need to flip the hourglass signifies the cycle between life and death. It also denotes the notion that we must be able to reverse our perceptions, attitudes, and actions at times for us to move forward.
The skull I think is a "memento mori". I found the one below on etsy listed as "Masonic Memento Mori Hourglass Relic".
