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 This portrait of a young Apatani woman shows the ornaments and facial decoration worn at the time : traditionally, young girls were tattooed and wooden plugs were placed in their nostrils : at age five or six, these tattoo lines were made by pricking the skin with thorns and then rubbing in a mixture of coal black and cooking oil : One line was drawn from forehead to the tip of the nose, and another five on the chin : about the same age, a young girl's nostrils were pierced and wooden pins inserted : a few years later, when the hole was large enough, wooden plugs, also blackened with soot and oil, were inserted : In 1974, however, the Apatani Youth Association demanded that these practices be abandoned, and today tattoos and nose-plugs are only seen on women above 35-40 years of age : the large hoop, brass earrings are also no longer worn, and the thick tangle of beads, though still seen, is increasingly unpopular : Similarly, her hairstyle and coarse cotton skirt have been replaced by other fashions : and today a woman her age would wear a top garment.
