Design & Symbolism
"Father Time" was created as part of Lladró's Millennium 1999 series and incorporates numerous visual references to the passage of time.
The figure carries a traditional hourglass, one of the best-known symbols of time, while supporting himself with a sculpted staff decorated with vine-like details. His long white beard and flowing robes give him the classical appearance associated with Father Time.
The back of the blue robe is especially interesting, featuring raised numbers, symbols and dates worked directly into the porcelain design. The year 2000 is prominently displayed, connecting the sculpture directly with the transition into the new millennium.
