| 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. | ||

About seven metres tall, it is thought by some to represent the Buddha's first disciple, Ananda, but others believe it is an image of the Buddha himself. We also see the reclining Buddha, which shows him reaching his final nirvana at death. About 14 metres long, it was carved in the 12th or 13th century. The standing image was created at the same time. | |
