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. 
500 |a This scene was photographed between 19450101 and 19450230 
500 |a This is Kago Bida, a comparatively young man, who was nevertheless a shaman nyibu, and an influential leader of Hija village : While Apatanis had polygynous marriages, Nyishis were famed for their many wives : Kago Bida, however, was not to be outdone and told Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf 'laughingly that he hoped to build up a polygamous household in the fashion of rich Daflas Nyishis : : I did not doubt his ability to content several women : Rosy-cheeked, powerfully built and always well and rather expensively dressed, he was the picture of a man fond of good living; the aplomb with which he would enter an assembly must have won him the heart of many woman admiring virility matched with elegance.' Here we see him in his ceremonial and martial best: shoulder armour of sago palm, cane hat with feather and leaf cover, machete sheath with bear fur, and the teeth and lower jaw of a jungle cat hanging from his neck : His hair is immaculately dressed, with a metal skewer : this photograph was probably taken either in the Nyishi village of Talo or in the Apatani valley.
