Hourglass – time measured with sand

The hourglass is a device for measuring time, known since ancient times. It consists of two glass bubbles connected by a tube through which sand is poured. Time is measured by the amount of sand that has seeped from one bubble into the other. Hourglasses have been used in a variety of ways, including timekeeping for work, prayer, cooking and even nautical navigation. Today, hourglasses are used primarily as a decorative element, but also in some board games and toys.
