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 Man in the centre is an Apatani shaman conducting a ritual : He is not the senior shaman of this ritual, however, because he does not wear a special headdress, large hoop earrings or small piece of bamboo in his hair knot : He wears instead a man's ceremonial jacket, shawl and bracelet, plus the typical cane belt and hair knot, with a string of metal beads on the hair line : He is chanting, having just twisted the head off a chicken the head is in his right hand, the body in his left, : although not visible in this photograph, the main sacrificial animal is a mithun : the context is unclear, but the ritual is probably a minor version of the Murung (Feast of Merit), known as subu taniin, which sometimes occurs in March, when this photograph was taken.
