The Temple Mount Hourglass and the Olive Tree Cross, together for $149.
Two keepsakes, each holding certified soil from Jerusalem's Temple Mount, recovered by the archaeologists of the Temple Mount Sifting Project.
The Temple Mount Hourglass. Antique brass and glass. Inside it, Temple Mount soil blended with a fine quartz sand made for hourglasses, so the sand flows freely and keeps true time. It arrives in a black presentation box with gold detailing, with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity and an illustrated booklet telling the story of the soil.
The Olive Tree Cross. Handcrafted from olive wood in Jerusalem, with a capsule of Temple Mount soil set at its center and its own Certificate of Authenticity. It arrives in a jute sachet. Each cross is shaped by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
