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 photograph shows the traditional and still practised method of weaving among Apatanis : this backstrap style limits the width of any single woven piece, so that wide garments, such as shawls and skirts, required two or three pieces sewn together : traditionally, Apatanis obtained raw cotton by trading rice with the Nyishis, who grew cotton on dry fields outside the Apatani valley : Wool arrived in the valley in the form of Tibetan blankets and clothes, also gained in trade, which Apatanis unravelled and then wove into shawls : Both cotton and wool fibres were dyed blue, orange, black and red, using tree bark and cane and by submerging them in a paddy field : this woman wears the typical set of large hoop earrings and metal bracelets.
