What the giant hourglass scene shows
The hourglass dominates the scene with a cylindrical frame, four upright posts, and round bases at the top and bottom. Its glass vessel has two broad bulbs joined by a narrow opening in the middle. A small girl with short hair stands to the right in a T-shirt, shorts, and sandals. She touches one of the posts and looks at the towering object with a surprised expression.
Interesting facts about hourglasses
An hourglass measures an interval by allowing dry grains to pass through a narrow opening from one bulb to the other. Turning it upside down restarts the process, although humidity, grain size, and the shape of the opening can affect how evenly the grains flow.
