In Muddy Road two monks are traveling and one helps a young woman cross a river (contact with women considered unwise and dangerous). They continue traveling until the other monk asks why he did it, to which the first says, "I left the girl there. Are you still carrying her?". The analogy woman:river::burden:journey, represents the woman as the burden the first monk still carries long after the second monk has already set her down. The woman carried across the river is like a burden one can carry throughout the journey of life. The pendant is sterling silver with an adhesive glaze protecting the underlying paper from most wear and weather.

Cost: $42.00 USD

Length: necklace - 18"

Materials:

  • sterling silver 1mm box chain
  • sterling silver 1" pendant

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, but it should survive life around young ones. As with all jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
