Notes

Abstract:
These two Apatani men and a boy are standing near Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf's camp site in the Apatani valley : all three wear their hair in the traditional fashion, twisted into a knot secured with a metal skewer : they also wear the typical red cane belt and cotton penis cover : the boy in the background wears the traditional string of metal beads on the hair line : the man on the left, who seems to be demonstrating something for the camera, wears a rain shield on his back : Made of bamboo and cane, it has a ‘shelf’ that can be used for carrying loads as well as flipped up to cover the head when it rains : Hanging from the neck of the man on the right we can see the small knife carried by most Apatani men, which complements the machete they also carry : In this image only the boy in the centre carries a machete.

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.
