  1. Apsara lady playing pin

    The Pin is an arched harp, first found in engravings in Sambor Prey Kouk, the capital of the Chenla kingdom - the last Khmer kingdom before the Khmer Angkor Empire of 802 CE.

    The Pin fell into disuse with the empire in the 1500s. But now restored as a significant part of the musical cultural heritage of Cambodia.

    The instrument itself was lost for hundreds of years. But the word for Khmer classical music survived as “pinpeat”.
