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 Apatani woman is weaving in Talo, a Nyishi village only 10 kilometres and a four-hour walk from the Apatani valley : the woman sitting in the centre, in profile, is also Apatani, while the woman with her back to the camera appears to be Nyishi : apatani women often spent several weeks in nearby Nyishi settlements, where they wove textiles for their hosts in return for raw cotton, which they took back to the Apatani valley for weaving there : Nyishis cultivated cotton, and Apatanis were the better weavers : Backstrap weaving, shown here, is the traditional method among Apatanis and is still practised : the backstrap method limits the width of any single woven piece, so that wide garments, such as shawls and skirts, require two or three pieces sewn together : Nyishis wove very little and not well, which might account in part for the interest shown in this woman's craft.
