This woman probably belongs to the Korcha caste, a low-status, itinerant group known (among other things) for bird catching. Wearing distinctive jewellery, she was probably photographed in or near the large village of Lingal. ( en )
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.

General Note:
Ethnologue does not list the Korcha. In his "Castes and tribes of Southern India" (Madras : Government Press, 1909) , Edgar Thurston mentions the Korcha. Korcha most likely refers to or originates with the village of that name in the Chatra Block, Chatra district, Jharkhand State of India.
General Note:
This photograph was taken between 1940 January and 1940 July
