Three thousand years, passing through your hands.

Sacred ground, in motion. An hourglass of antique brass and glass. Inside it, certified soil from Jerusalem's Temple Mount, recovered by the archaeologists of the Temple Mount Sifting Project and blended with a fine quartz sand made for hourglasses, so that the sand flows freely and the hourglass keeps true time. The Temple Mount soil is grey, not golden.

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."
Ecclesiastes 3:1

Turn it over, and ground from the Temple Mount moves through your hands. Set it on a desk, a mantel or a bedside table, and let it keep time beside the people you love.

What arrives

Each hourglass arrives in a black presentation box with gold detailing, with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity from the Temple Mount Sifting Project and an illustrated booklet telling the story of the soil. A substantial percentage of every purchase funds the Project's ongoing research.
