A Study on Representation of the Female Hair Styles of the Anak Tomb No. 3

A study analyzing the female hair styles depicted in the murals of Anak Tomb No. 3, part of the UNESCO-listed Complex of Koguryo Tombs, reveals intricate and historically significant representations. These hairstyles offer valuable insights into the cultural and social practices of the Goguryeo period (37 BC–668 AD). The research employed a detailed examination of the tomb's murals, focusing on stylistic elements such as coiffure techniques, adornments, and symbolic meanings. By comparing these findings with other contemporary sources, the study underscores the importance of hair styles in understanding gender roles and artistic traditions during this era.
