| Summary: |
This group of Apatanis, mostly women, are sitting around the back hearth of an Apatani house : above the hearth hang several racks for drying firewood and meat and for storing other items : the large bamboo and cane baskets hanging from the roof usually contain clothing and blankets : the blackened pots near the hearth are used for boiling water and cooking food : the man sitting far right in profile, appears to be an Indian, perhaps a guide for Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf during his two-week visit to the valley in 1962. |
