Hora fugit pendant by Mist, Metal and Stone

The pendant is the first of a series inspired by antique European livery buttons; these buttons have intriguing designs, rooted in the histories of the noble families, and were worn by service staff in the service of an aristocratic household to represent their relationship to their employer in the 17th, 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.  Many of the crest used on livery buttons descended from the crest which knights wore on top of their helmets. It enabled friend and foe to recognize each other in battle.

This one features a winged hourglass, a symbol often seen on antique gravestones. Winged hourglasses signify the resurrection of the dead, and it can also be indicative of "hora fugit" (or "tempus fugit"), a Latin expression which can be translated as "time flies" used as a proverb that "time's a-wasting".
