Three Native American men pose in front of a large teepee at a camp for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show near Earl's Court in England. The men each wear long, feather headdresses. The man in the center sits on the ground while the other two men stand looking toward him. The two standing men hold round shields and long spears. The seated man has a star on his left lapel. The teepee has several pictures of people dancing painted on it.
