500 |a 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.

520 3 |a The man on the left is holding a gourd with strips of bamboo, with which he is gesturing toward a sacrificial cow during the Myoko festival celebrated in March each year. He is chanting, and he may be a shaman, although this is not clear. In the centre stands an altar made of bamboo and decorated with bamboo shavings and egg shells. The enclosure and the altar belong to a clan, and each family in that clan brings a pig to this location to be blessed before it is killed. The sacrifice of the cow (and the calf to the right) is unusual and may be the result of a specific request in this year.
