Notes
- Abstract:
- Man in the centre is an Apatani shaman conducting a ritual, while standing on the back porch of a house : He wears the shaman's headdress, large ring earrings and small piece of bamboo sticking up from his hair knot : the sacrificial animal is a mithun whose back is visible in the bottom left hand corner, : the altar is the the bamboo pole, with bamboo shavings, placed in the wooden stakes at its base : although the context is unclear, the ritual is probably a minor version of the Murung (Feast of Merit), known as subu taniin, which sometimes occurs in March, when this photograph was taken : the narrow space between houses is typical of the densely populated villages that were an adaptation to the local environment : Devoting every available metre of land to wet-rice agriculture, Apatanis lived in crowded settlements, narrow houses and nuclear families.

- 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.
