- 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.

- Model head he's wearing shows his status as a head hunter : He acquired it by bringing a head from Tang : the wooden model was bought by Haimendorf for one rupee, after the man asks 8 annas for it : Inside the house of the Ang of Tanhai, a group of men sits together : the house is very long and segmented into different chambers : the men from different villages sit together in a room neighbouring a platform : they come from different villages: Sengha, Hungphoi, Chi, Mon and Oting : Mills had to decide a case for them: Sengha had taken the head of a woman from Chui and wanted to present it to the Ang of Mon, but Tang, a village Sengha is in feud with blocked the way : therefore the warriors of Seangha which is a small colony of the large Seangha, asked two young men from Hungphoi which has good relations to Tang, to bring the head to Mon : they did it and were rewarded with the tattoo of successful head hunters : But because Hungphoi is inside British controlled territory, Mills had to punish them : Hungphoi had to pay two mithuns, Sengha one : the Konyak are ruled by chiefs called Ang that belong to the Ang clan : the title is hereditary.
