Murals are related to people's ways of life. Muralists depicted stories, ways of life, societies and cultures through murals reflected the societies and their cultures which is connected to the Iconology, the study of visual imagery and its symbolism as evidence of rituals, beliefs, values and interpretation. Musical Iconography is concerned with the depiction of imaginary music as written language and real music will finally be brought to accompany the depiction after it is recorded. The sound of conch shell fanfare cannot be obtained from the image but it can be perceived through imagination and from old records from the past. In interpreting music murals and paintings, a lot of knowledge are required. It is also necessary to study the traditions, beliefs, values, analysis and interpretation of those images. The study of Music Iconology is the combination of many art genres which a variety of academic qualifications will be shown such as the features of each instrument including its look and sound, and musical ensembles. In addition, music is played in various activities not only for entertainment and recreation but also for birth and death rituals. This ritual music well reflects images of each community.
