Summary |
A Sioux man poses on horseback in front of a backdrop with a landscape scene painted on it in the dirt arena for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show at Earl's Court in England. He wears a long, feather headdress and holds a long spear and round shield in his left hand. He also wears a breastplate, possibly made of bone. A chain with bells on it is around the horse's neck. Another horse is in the right foreground with a long tassel hanging from its mouth. A group of additional Native American riders is in the left background. Those men also hold spears. |
