In the Zen story A Parable, a man flees from a tiger by grabbing a vine and jumping over a precipice only to be confronted with another tiger below him, also waiting to eat him. As he considers the tiger above and the tiger below, he spots a strawberry growing on the vine - how sweet it tasted! The analogy of strawberry:tiger::life:death refers to the sweetness of the moment, of life in the face of our certain demise. The pendant is sterling silver with a resin coating over the paper for protection from wear and weather; note that submerging the pendant could lead to discoloring.

Cost: $46.00 USD

Care & cleaning: Clean with a damp washcloth (do not submerge) and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean tarnish appearing on silver.

The sterling silver chain is strong but not indestructible and care should be taken with the pendant. As with all jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
