Death Tarot Card Pint Glass
This can-shaped pint glass features an etching of Death, the thirteenth Major Arcana card in traditional Tarot decks.
Death is the tarot card ruled by Scorpio (October 23 - November 22).
Death is depicted as a living skeleton, seated on a white horse. He is wearing a full suit of armor, indicating the invincibility of mortality, and he bears a banner emblazoned with the Mystic Rose, which signifies life. The rose has five petals representing the elements of life – earth, air, fire, water and spirit. Death carries no weapon, but a man, woman, and child fall before him, while a bishop waits with clasped hands. The dead king at his feet shows that death does not differentiate between social or financial status. In the background, a boat floats down the river, reminiscent of the boats escorting souls to the afterlife on the mythological River Styx. The sun either sets or rises between two towers on the horizon, which also appear in the Moon card. The sun represents immortality, dying each night and being reborn each morning.
• Meaning: Endings, change, transformation, transition, mortality
• Element: Water
• Ruling planet: Pluto
Each glass is individually sandcarved in our studio, using compressed air and abrasive to actually carve away the glass for a stunning three-dimensional image that you can actually feel with your fingertip (you can read more about the sandcarving process on our “About” page). These glasses are made to last a lifetime, and the sandcarved image is completely permanent and dishwasher safe.
Each glass is handcrafted to order, so please allow 1 to 2 weeks of production time as we create one just for you. Please note that our stencils are designed after antique tarot cards that are more than 100 years old, age marks and printing flaws included. As with all handcrafted items, while our listing photos are a good representation of the design you are ordering, you can expect minor distinctions in the pint glass you receive, making it truly one of a kind.
