Notes

Abstract:
Apatani woman, on the left, is Sano Rali, who is being held prisoner as part of a complicated dispute involving a stolen brass plate : a widow, she was captured by a man who had himself been accused of the theft : Unable to lay hands on him, the owners of the stolen plate captured his daughter and kept her in stocks for five months : In order to get his daughter released, the man caught Sano Rali and gave her to the owners of the plate : She is shown with her leg through a heavy log and held by an iron peg : Her arms and body have also been tied with cane ropes to the ritual platform behind her : She is being held under the ritual platform because that is where criminals are executed, and it was thought this would frighten her into confessing : She maintained her innocence, however, and eventually a mithun was killed, a feast was held and the dispute was resolved : Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf also met and photographed her forty-four years later.

General Note:
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.
