"Buffalo Bill" Cody and Native American chiefs.
William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody stands in the left center of a group of Native American chiefs. The group includes, from left, Brave Chief, Eagle Chief, Knife Chief, Young Chief, Buffalo Bill, American Horse, Rocky Bear, Flys Above and Long Wolf.

The four men to the right of Cody all wear feather headdresses. Two of the men to the left of Cody wear single feathers on the backs of their heads. Several of the men wear breastplates, possibly made of bone.

Cody holds a rifle propped on its end in front of him. He also wears thigh boots, a buckskin coat and gauntlets on his hands. The coat and gauntlets are adorned with tassles.
