Please study the scans. Father Time / Death Rider of Apocalypse / Grim Reaper - parody image - Personifications often associated with December 31, New Years Eve; January 1, New Year Day. In recent centuries he is usually depicted as an elderly bearded man, sometimes with wings, dressed in a robe and carrying a scythe and an hourglass or other timekeeping device (which represents time's constant one-way movement, and more generally and abstractly, entropy). He is used in allegory, as a god of myth and mythology, etc. As an image Father Time's origins are curious. The ancient Greeks themselves began to associate chronos, their word for time, with the agricultural god Cronos, who had the attribute of a harvester's sickle. The Romans equated Cronos with Saturn, who also had a sickle, and was treated as an old man, often with a crutch. The wings and hourglass were early Renaissance additions and he eventually became a companion of the Grim Reaper, personification of Death, often taking his scythe.
