Notes
- Abstract:
- Ritual platform in the centre is made of hardwood planks and raised on thick wooden posts : It is used primarily for ritual performances, especially the Murung (Feast of Merit) festival, but also as a work space : In this photograph, for example, the bamboo strips and shavings on it suggest that men have been either building ritual altars or preparing to rebuild a roof : the crowds on the nearby porches have probably gathered to watch the foreigner with the camera rather than the work on the platform : today, the wooden planks and posts of the platform are being replaced with concrete slabs and posts : the tall pole in front of the platform is a babo pole : Cut from hardwood and approximately 15-20 metres, it is erected on or near a platform during the annual Myoko festival : to the left of the pole but on the platform is a group of bamboo poles dedicated to Danyi, the Sun.

- 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.
