24.00 USD
In order to help with your plague doctor costume we have recreated the winged hourglass that sits atop the staff represented in the engraving by Paul Fürst done in 1656. This symbol in centuries old, and represents the idea that time is fleeting. Tempus Fugit.
It is an original sculpt cast in resin and available in black and your choice of four colors as shown in one of the photos. Buy the black if you want to finish it yourself. You can use Rub 'N Buf, spray paint, or acrylic paint. The casting comes with a hole in the bottom designed to fit on a ½" diameter wooden dowel, available at most hardware stores. It measures 6" wide and 2¼" high. The cane is not included. You need to buy a wooden dowel to act as the cane.
