AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant esoteric desk hourglass with Masonic symbolism, characterized by two dark wooden square bases, four black rods with polished brass fittings, and glass ampoules containing black sand.
On the upper base a metallic coin-style medallion bears the inscription “Order of the 99 Plus” and is decorated with the Square, the Compasses and the letter G, surrounded by radiant rays.
The Square represents moral rectitude, the Compasses balance and measure, while the letter G traditionally evokes Geometry and the Great Architect of the Universe.
In Masonic symbolism, the hourglass represents time passing, the transient nature of life, and the importance of consciously using every moment in one's path of knowledge and inner perfection.
The contrast between dark wood, black sand, and polished brass elements gives the object an elegant and regal appearance. Ideal for collectors of Masonic symbolism, esotericism, and decorative objects.

Dimensions:
Height: 25 cm
