Iron Tail wears his hair in braids pinned up to form long loops. He also has a blanket around his waist. The women wear long necklaces with several layers, possibly made from dentalium shells. One young boy in the center of the front row cries and wiggles as a woman tries to calm him.Physical Description1 photoprint : black and white ; 13 x 20 cm (5 x 8 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectIndians of North America--Clothing and dressIndians of North America--WomenWild west showsBuffalo Bill, 1846-1917Iron TailBuffalo Bill's Wild West ShowCollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR700105748Type of MaterialPhotographic printsDigital Version Created FromSalsbury collection, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, album 6Original Material Found in CollectionSalsbury collection, Buffalo Bill's Wild West ShowNotesSalsbury Collection Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show Rehearsal Pictures 1901 typed on first page of album; on final page of album "Cubans actual war veterans of Spanish-American War Color Guard under Gen.
