Italian-born "Iron Eyes Cody" portrayed the classic plains Indian in numerous films and television shows throughout much of the 20th century. He also is well-known for shedding a tear at the sight of litter during a Keep America Beautiful public service announcement in the 1970s and 1980s.

This bow was gifted to Bob Timberlake at the airport in Raleigh, North Carolina, as Cody approached his 80th birthday.
