| 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. | ||
| 500 | |a After the head receiving dance is finished, the participants are allowed to get tattoos declaring their newly gained status of head hunters : tattooing is done with a bamboo needle which is hammered into the painted skin of a person with a small bamboo hammer : the paint used for colouring is made of the ash of a certain tree : at the time there were two sisters, Liniu and Nongpha of the Ang clan, who were skilled in tattooing : the scene takes place on the veranda of Yophong's house, the husband of Liniu : Fürer-Haimendorf remarks in his diary that Liniu, who is doing the tattooing, lets the small hammer fall down to the skin without tapping onto it, like he had observed it in the village of Hungphoi before : Meanwhile the next candidate is waiting, getting his pattern painted onto his chest by Nongpha : the boys are between eleven and fourteen years old : the image is part of a series documenting the return of Fürer-Haimendorf from a punitive expedition conducted by the British against the Kalyo-Kengyo Khiamniungan, village of Pangsha : From this tour he brought back head-trophies some of which he had collected from the head trees in the villages he visited on the way : a large group of Nagas from different Konyak villages had accompanied him onto the expedition as porters kulis, : Coming back to their villages, both Fürer-Haimendorf and the returning villagers were greeted as head-hunters : the skulls or fragments of them were given to the villages and received by performing head-receiving dances : through this payment Fürer-Haimendorf was able to document ceremonies that - under normal circumstances - weren't possible anymore at that time as head hunting was prohibited in British administered areas. | ||
