Description
What is the Black Hills green mug?
This is a 14 fl oz ceramic mug from Impact Photographics with Black Hills Parks & Forests lettering beside the handle. White drawings, pale blue lettering, and yellow suns wrap around the green body. The design includes a Wind Cave National Park entrance sign, Jewel Cave National Monument, rock formations, and a stone lookout tower.
The wildlife is part of the design too. A bison stands below the Wind Cave sign, a prairie dog sits upright beside the cave artwork, and a bat spreads its wings near the handle. Small clouds and diamond shapes fill the spaces between the larger drawings. Turn the mug around and you see a different part of the picture.
What is included?
One green ceramic mug with a handle. It is a straightforward choice for your morning coffee or an afternoon cup of tea, with familiar places from a Black Hills trip on the outside.
The three product photos show both sides of the handle and the artwork opposite it. Together they give you a view of the wraparound design, including the smaller labels between the drawings.
