A group of Arab acrobats poses while touring with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. One man balances six others on his shoulders. The man on the bottom stands and holds his arms up to support the group on his shoulders. Two older men and three younger men stand on his shoulders, while the sixth young man stands on their shoulders. The young man at the top of the group holds his arms up in the air. Two additional men stand on the ground below the group. A landscape is painted on the backdrop in the distance.
