500        |a Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf (1909-1995) was born and educated in Vienna, gaining a PhD in anthropology from the University of Vienna in 1931. A grant from the Rockefeller Foundation enabled him to study at the London School of Economics, under the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. In 1936, he went to the Naga Hills in northeast India for his first fieldwork; over the next four decades, he worked extensively in south & central India, northeast India and Nepal. In 1950 he was appointed Professor of Anthropology at SOAS, where he established the Department of Anthropology. During his career, he published seventeen books, most of them ethnographies of tribal cultures. He was President of the Royal Anthropological Institute (1975-77) and a pioneer in the field of visual anthropology.

520 3    |a This Apatani boy, holding aloft his machete, is dancing near a ritual hut nago, on the right, : He wears a man's shoulder armour, made of sago palm : this ritual, known as ropi, was performed in the context of an ongoing dispute with a neighbouring tribe : Six months earlier, an Apatani man had been captured while hunting near a Hill Miri village and was held for three months : He escaped and took his revenge by killing a woman relative of his captors and cutting off her hand : He then brought her hand back to his village as a trophy, where it was kept in a ritual hut : On the third day, this ropi was performed in which the dead woman's spirit and those of her ancestors were placated with offerings of goat meat and rice-beer : Fürer-Haimendorf described the scene he photographed: 'the offerings of food and rice-beer placed on the altar; the men and boys…had danced most of the night; and early in the morning the hand had been taken out of the nago ritual hut :, covered with pigs' fat and then burnt to ashes in the fire which we still saw smouldering.' While this ritual is no longer celebrated for human deaths, it is still performed for the killing of certain animals esp : jungle cats, : apatanis believe that these animals have close genealogical links with humans : as with humans, the ritual is intended to prevent retaliation by the victim's spirit or descendants.
