Notes
- Abstract:
- These Apatanis have gathered on a porch, most likely to watch some part of the month-long Myoko festival : two men centre and left, wear the traditional hair style knot with skewer, and a ceremonial shawl : the man in the centre wears a modern shirt, while the man on the left wears the jacket and the man on the right the shorts that became popular after the 1950s : the men on the right and left wear the traditional pair of jungle cat teeth hanging from their neck : the man on the left also wears a large safety pin and the man in the centre a key, both valuable metal goods traded up from Assam : the woman has the traditional nose plugs and facial tattoos : at about age five or six, tattoo lines were made by pricking the skin with thorns and then rubbing in a mixture of coal black and cooking oil : One line was drawn from forehead to the tip of the nose, and another five on the chin : about the same age, a young girl's nostrils were pierced and wooden pins inserted : a few years later, when the hole was large enough, wooden plugs, also blackened with soot and oil, were inserted : In 1974, a few years before this photograph was taken, the Apatani Youth Association demanded that these practices be abandoned, and today nose plugs and facial tattoos are only seen on women above 35-40 years of age : Her set of necklaces is not much different from what her mother might have worn : Only a decade later, most women her age would wear a top garment.

- 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.
