King Tatarrax of Quivira Coffee Mug

"In the midst of the greatest suffering of the pueblo Indians in the 16th century, there appears for the first time the story of Quivira, a rich Indian country far to the northeast where the great King Tatarrax ruled sitting under a tree hung with golden bells which played whenever the wind blew. The Spanish invaders believed this story and sent their army of over 300 to find it. When they got there, all they saw were Instead of palaces with gold and silver he found abysmally poor Indians living in straw houses and eating raw buffalo flesh which they cut with knives of flint." From a 1950s magazine article on American legends. Note that the scene appears on both sides of the mug, in mirror image. Wanna see more old?
