Notes
- Abstract:
- This Apatani shaman stands in his army-style boots, on an animal skin on top of a small wooden stool placed on a ritual platform : His shawl, woven in a special design, large hoop earrings, head cloth and cowrie-shells on the strap of his machete sheath are part of his costume : In his hand he holds a piece of special bamboo, which has been split, with pieces of ginger stuck on its tips : the chick attached to it will soon be killed : Chanting a long ritual text, he uses the bamboo pieces to gesture toward two sacrificial animals tethered to the platform but not visible here : the is probably subu padu, a day-long ritual that confirms the eligibility of a man to sponsor a large feast Murung (Feast of Merit), in the future : It may also be a subu taniin, a minor version of the Murung (Feast of Merit) : the bamboo mugs at his feet are used to drink rice beer.

- 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.
