Notes
- Abstract:
- Betty von Fürer-Haimendorf is seen here with a Nyishi man in an Apatani village : they appear to be talking, perhaps with a few words of Assamese : His general hair style knot with skewer, string of metal beads on the hair line and cane hat with hornbill beak and feather are not much different to what Apatani men would have worn : However, the particular type of hair knot, earring metal loop hanging from a wooden disc in the lobe, chain metal necklaces and style of tunic show that he is a Nyishi : apatanis entered into ceremonial friendships with Nyishis and Hill Miris, which meant that those outsiders might visit the valley on special occasions, such as Myoko, the festival that was being celebrated when this photograph was taken.

- 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.
