Piri player in the Portrait of the Deceased on the northern wall of the antechamber
This is a detailed view of the valet playing a Piri in the Portrait of the Deceased on the northern wall of the antechamber.
Koguryo era instruments can be divided into percussion, string, and wind instruments, and the Piri (bamboo oboe) is a wind instrument. The figure playing a Piri can be seen wearing a Geon (a type of ancient headwear that wraps around the entire head and tied in the back, similar to a bandanna).
