ASMR at the museum | Massaging hands with bath rasps from Iran | V&A

The objects mimic the natural sound they make?

hey why don't you guys give these items back to their original countries

Very beautiful

I’ve watched this too many times

u

Well aside from watchibg asmr to sleep. This vudeo also teach me sometgibg

Here come the Dallaks! "Exfoliate! Exfoliate!"

I wonder why no one has replicated them for use today. They would be lovely. The rattle amuses me. Ceramic beads pehaps?

This is amazing ASMR not to mention educational. Thank you!!

Coming back to this video...maybe it's already been asked, but I'm curious why they didn't try to spread out the bits inside a bit, before X-raying. Unless they were held up vertically, then nevermind my dumb thoughts. 😅

shoe one is killing me, its the middle fingers she should be using not the index finger

"Nano glass" files would be the latest reincarnation of such rasps.

I wonder if they are rattles because maybe they were made for kids baths?? It would make sense given the shapes too. They are playful. But maybe not given some of the big pieces also have it. 🤔 They could have been placed there to prevent cracking in the kiln? Is that a thing? I'm so entrigued now.

Maybe the one with the hole was filled with oil which would then be distributed during the massage ?

but how u now its from Iran and not traded in from China?

Why did someone write directly on the bottom of them with marker???

I wonder if the ones with holes are meant to be filled w hot water?

I can't fkn sleep while russia bombing my city 😢!!

This is so enjoyable to listen to.

The holes in hollow porcelain objects are to relieve pressure during kiln firing. Part of the manufacturing process.# ask a ceramicist.

Might I suggest that the cypress three rasp is filled pieces of dried cypress resin. Cypress sap is collected because it has anti microbial properties smells very beautiful when burned.

I would assume that they were made hollow so that they would float. I'm curious on how they were made.

Oh that's nice. In my country we had to find stones for rubbing in the bath. I've always wondered why not "make" stone. Nice to know Persians already solved that! 😊

You have to put a hole in a large hollow clay sculpture before you fire it don’t you? So it doesn’t explode lol

Love that the rubber duck wasn't the first duck bath accessory, haha

Merciful heavens, the tingles! Both ASMR tingles and happy history geek brain. :)

Beautiful. I just wish there were some shots of the objects by themselves. It was difficult to see details of the lovely things while she was holding them.

I like the duck one.

LOVE THIS! I'm studying history at my college and ASMR is such an enjoyment of mine while studying this is absolutely the perfect mix of both!!!! Learning and relaxing!

Try to blow into the drop with a hole from short distance. Maybe it has sound? I agree that there rattles could be done to make the difference without seeing the object for people who use it, or for these who receiving procedures and has to be sure the needed is used. Also, perhaps the different sound is created for different speed usage as additional meditation element. Like maybe there was a belief that different sound relaxes person in needed way. Kind of historic ASMR practice :)

Whisper would have been better with this one

I really love the V&A's channel, but I also think these should be in Iran ✨

More history Asmr, just quieter talking

Please make more like this!! It's sooooo fascinating and relaxing and educational. I absolutely love this, it intersects so many of my interests I realllllyyy love this series!! This especially :)

Who is she? She's so lovely at this but she also has my dream career so I'm super fascinated to know how she got there? So flipping cool! and this was such a fascinating delightful watch

Give them back to Iran ☠️🫠

took me a while to realize why this video is by a british museum…

So surprised none of them were made with handles, due to the slipperiness in the bath, but maybe some were and just aren’t in the collection.

your telling me people been making rubber duckies (sorta) since the 1600s??

my silly little guess for the rattlies inside them is that it might help one hear where it is when its being used out of view, like on ones back. i remember getting a massage, even when totall relaxed, i still got slightly startled when the masseur`s hand lifted off of me, i didnt know where it went, then it touched somewhere else. nothing crazy, but just might be another minor thing thats easy to add, to contribute to the safe and relaxing atmosphere you would likely want in a bath.

Give them back to iran

wouldn’t the hole be necessary to keep the hollow form from exploding in the kiln?

This Lady is ASMR magic. Is it me or does she sound a little like the comedian, Sarah Pascoe?

Would have loved if she whispered this — amazing nevertheless ❤

wish i could enjoy this video but i just know those beautiful artifacts were violently stolen from iran...shame. edit to add: death to the monarchy btw

Please please please do another video with her! She’s such a natural ASMRist, so relaxing.

If you call it asmr, then think about your voice which is not appropriate for asmr at all.

Perhaps the large tear drop has a hole so it could be "weighted" by filling it with water. It could also be heated or cooled too this way

Absolutely in LOVE with this series, thank you all for always showing us unique and interesting things in such a cozy relaxing format!❤
