I also feel there could be something else because most of the objects in the painting seem to be quite old like the candle stick, the hour glass and the two mirrors. I just wonder if it could also represent age aswell as all the other things.

Such examples include, the shininess of the jewels and fruit, the melting of the candle, the drops of sand in the hourglass, the skull, the calendar, and the mirror, no matter how much we may dress ourselves up and keep ourselves healthy, death still awaits and time stilll goes on. The tarot card and the roll of the dice portray our attempt to 'see' the future and take a chance.
