  "The hourglass, sometimes with the addition of metaphorical wings, is often depicted as a symbol that human existence is fleeting, and that the "sands of time" will run out for every human life.[18] It was used thus on pirate flags, to strike fear into the hearts of the pirates' victims. In England, hourglasses were sometimes placed in coffins,[19] and they have graced gravestones for centuries." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hourglass#Symbolic_uses
