| 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 method 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 Nyishis, who grew cotton on dry fields outside the Apatani valley : the cotton was rolled smooth by wooden rods, boiled and dried : Wool arrived in the valley in the form of traded Tibetan blankets and clothes, which Apatanis unravelled and wove again : Wool and cotton fibres were dyed blue, orange, black and red, using tree bark and cane and by submerging in a paddy field : this woman also has the traditional facial tattoos and nose plugs : at about age five or six, 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, the Apatani Youth Association demanded that these practices be abandoned, and today nose plugs and facial tattoos are only seen on women above 35-40 years of age : Her hairstyle and hoop earrings have been replaced by other fashions. | |
