This Egyptian Hourglass brings a touch of ancient Egyptian artistry into your space, featuring detailed depictions of Pharaoh and Nefertiti on the base of a working glass sand timer. It measures approximately 5.75" x 3.75" x 2.5" and runs for roughly 5-8 minutes per flip.
The Pharaoh and Nefertiti imagery on this piece draws on ancient Egyptian art and history; it's included here as a decorative, historically inspired design, not as a claim to any religious practice, historical accuracy, or proven effect.
What this piece reliably delivers is a real working sand timer set on a genuinely detailed decorative base, rather than a flat printed image standing in for the historical imagery.
The paired Pharaoh and Nefertiti figures give this hourglass a narrative, historical feel that a plain glass timer doesn't have, making it a natural fit for anyone drawn to ancient Egyptian history and design. Because the sand runs roughly 5-8 minutes rather than an exact interval, it's best treated as an approachable, low-stakes way to mark a short stretch of time rather than a precise timekeeping tool. Its compact size means it tucks easily onto a shelf, desk, or altar space alongside other decor without dominating the surface, and the historical detailing gives it enough visual interest to work as a standalone accent piece or a thoughtful gift for a history enthusiast. Many shoppers pair it with other Egyptian-themed pieces, such as an Ankh or Bastet mirror, to build a small themed display, and its warm tones suit both a wood desk and a lighter shelf setting equally well.

Flip it gently to start a roughly 5-8 minute interval, place it on a stable surface, and dust the base and glass with a soft, dry cloth between uses.
