| Summary: |
These two Apatani men are standing in the vicinity of Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf's camp site : the object hanging down the back of the man on the left is a wooden tray used to shift earth in the paddy fields : the cane and bamboo structure hanging down the back of the man on the right is used to carry heavy loads, especially by porters : When the 'shelf' is flipped up over the head, it doubles as a rain shield. |
