Notes
- Abstract:
- This Apatani man, who may be a shaman, is standing in front of ritual altar built during the Myoko festival, which was being celebrated during Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf's two-week visit to the Apatani valley in March 1962 : the altar stands near a house the wooden steps to the porch are visible on the far left, : although unfinished, the altar appears to be dedicated to Kharun, a powerful spirit who protects against disease and misfortune : On the ground we see a few egg shells : Several dozen eggs will be used in the ritual, which will also involve chanting and the sacrifice of many chicks.

- 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.
