Muddy Man, 2023 Pendant

Muddy Man, 2023 Pendant by Joel (Sargent Pepper) Briggs.
400 produced and 19 of them were cast in 925 sterling silver.

Sargent Pepper writes,

“Muddy Man, What a Burn! And for those who stuck it out, it was an adventure.

I was asked to design and fabricate a pendant to capture that adventure! So, I present the Muddy Man Pendant.
The pendant is just 2″ long and has an antique silver vanish. The inner area where the Muddy Man resides is an epoxy resin with sunset colors. The Man is wearing boots with a mud. The pendant has a loop on the top to add any cord, ribbon, or rope you wish to wear. A charm ring hole is at the bottom of the pendant to add something special about the 2023 burn. In early December, I will have two charms available, including trash bags and the rainbow over the city to be added to this pendant. On the back of the pendant, “Rush out in the rain to embrace the playa mud!” The quote is surrounded by four Burning Man.”
