A Fabulous Heavy Reclaimed Antique Stone Slab Engraved In Latin With The Phrase ‘Tempus Fugit’, Which Means ‘Time Flies’.
Dates To Around The 1800s, But Could Even Be Earlier Looking At The Engraved Wording.
It Looks To Have Been Cut From A Wall And Had, I Believe, Two Possible Purposes. 1. It Formed Part Of A Stone Sun Dial Or, 2. It Formed Part Of A Very Old Gravestone.
Research Had Shown That ‘Tempus Fugit’ Has A Memento Mori Symbolism – Meaning Time Flies, Remember Death – And Is A Sentiment Found In Every Historic, Scottish Graveyard.
Either Way, It Makes For A Superb Decorative Piece For Inside Or Outside The Home.
Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Structurally sound.
