I'd assume it was iterative over time. First, someone noticed that old berries that fell in water and got stepped on were gummy and tried working it with their hands. That worked well enough for a while, then someone realized they could get the same effect faster by chewing and pulling. We're an innovative species.
We are curious! Think about how we discovered that the pip of some berry, dried, roasted,ground and then mixed with hot water would prove to be an invigourating drink!☕
The writing on the phoenix picture says "ex me ipso renascor", Latin for "I am born from myself", fittingly for a phoenix. And the backside has this line from Virgil, "Omnia vincit amor et nos cedamus amore", love conquers all and let us succumb to love. It was a very popular saying in the Middle Ages and later on, I think of it as an equivalent of our day's motivational quotes on Instagram.
As soon as she said 6 months to restore the piece my jaw dropped, can't believe the dedication to their work required to just complete one task, truly remarkable!
Wonderful! I would also like more detail about how the figures were colored and cut, history of the process before European influence, the meaning of the inscriptions, and any ideas of provenance.
Have you made any further discoveries regarding the skeleton that was revealed on the back of the lid? (ICYMI: there's another video about this box that goes into more detail about its conservation & the imagery that was found beneath a non-original paint job.) th-cam.com/video/-j1g81iM28g/w-d-xo.html
There’s something so soothing about an expert explaining a beautiful object in detail. She has a great voice and energy-I imagine her real job is very fulfilling but she could go into ASMR video creation if she wants a career change ❤️ She looked…worried I think? in the thumbnail image so maybe next time a different thumbnail 😂 but otherwise this was great and I hope there are more!
Hi Linda. Remember you can zoom in and out and move around while zoomed in...at least on an ipad, which I am using, not sure about any other device. Cheers

What a beautiful box! Thank you for sharing this. I can't imagine the patience and courage it must take to remove the old varnish. It's wonderful to see such lovingly handmade items so well cared for.
Came for ASMR, stayed for the art history. Scary to think that humans have arguably now passed Peak Artistry, certainly of the individual... ...and now happy to abdicate in favour of rehashed 'creativity' by algorithms. Laughably called artificial intelligence. Truly a race to the bottom. (But even so, could never really compete with nature itself for ultimate beauty.)
I think we would see more great art if wealthy people would become patrons in the way they used to. Artists used to be able to spend all their time making art thanks to their patrons. That's not how it is now. I wonder how many great artists never see the light of day because they have to work at regular jobs to take care of themselves.
Interesting the dovetails on the drawers are at such an acute angle. The corners of the tails would be very weak, I wonder why they would have been made to such a sharp angle?
What a beautiful object. Like some of the other commenters, it would be fascinating to learn how the intricate shapes were created from the mopa mopa as well as how the intense colours were achieved. What wood is the box made from? So many questions!
This is soft spoken to me, it’s more of an ‘unintentional’ soft spoken and she has a lovely voice for asmr. I hate fake whispering videos so this is perfect 👏🏼👏🏼
Very enjoyable video indeed, but really not ASMR, except the drawers opening etc. The triple broadcast microphones sure did make the intentions clear! ...but suggest recording the art history as normal - then a specific ASMR segment straight after, whispering or no talking. If staff could experience ASMR themselves, they would get it instantly - and might be a real positive in their lives if they don't already. I can imagine the responsibility of presenting such a video would make it impossible to experience ASMR at the same time, it's understandable.
I experience ASMR, and I find whispering videos to be like nails on a chalk board. This type of video, with her vocal timbre and enunciation, is more triggering for someone like me.
@@guccideltaco Very interesting, the triggers are the same for me but I guess the exact volume etc is hard to control end to end on TH-cam. ASMR really deserves research to understand the mechanism at work.
I love this series, but some of the curators don't seem to understand or experience ASMR themselves or the videos would have more soft spoken/whispered explanations. Videos with more gentle sounds and less speaking would be appreciated!
Who was the first person to think “I’ll collect some berries, chew them and make something beautiful with them ?”
Right! That was my question too.

But how did Latin get to Colombia in the 16th century?
@@lmo7724 Unfortunately, colonialism and violence.
Wow. As an artist, I thought it was painted and I was impressed. Now that I understand how it was actually made I'm so much more impressed

pls never end this series of asmr videos
That’s exactly what I was expecting my wood work projects to look like when I was 11 and I definitely didn’t achieve it
Same
I would love to know how the mopa mopa was colored. Blue was such a rare color of pigment back then
IM SORRY HOW? That’s insane! The dedication to intricacy
Wonderful! I would also like more detail about how the figures were colored and cut, history of the process before European influence, the meaning of the inscriptions, and any ideas of provenance.
This work is so beautiful. Thank you for preserving the table cabinet and the skill and artistry upon it.

I was searching for some asmr to watch after work, end up watched the whole thing and totally forgot about the asmr part. very fascinating!

Beautiful workmanship. Thank you, good job on the restoration, keep up the good work, a real art.
Yesss a new episode of my favourite series 😍
What a beautiful box! Thank you for sharing this. I can't imagine the patience and courage it must take to remove the old varnish. It's wonderful to see such lovingly handmade items so well cared for.
Amazing skill! I assume the colours are natural to the plant? Is the box protected in some other way now?

That is so lovely. And how true - the craftsmanship is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing.
Disappointed curator didn't demonstrate the original process haha!
😂😂😂😂
A fabulous object expertly described. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely gorgeous.
That is gorgeous
Exquisite- thank you for saving all these wonderful objects
this is just absurdly amazing ❤ thank you so much for sharing
Wonderful and amazing craftsmanship
How absolutely fascinating! 😍😍 I can’t imagine how long this took to make it’s completely beautiful
Wow! This box is beyond amazing.
What a remarkable box.❤🟫
Just beautiful!
Is that the giglio symbol of Florence inside that box?
It’s such a shame that you don’t have people actually trained in asmr to perform this bc it could be such a great video
Interesting the dovetails on the drawers are at such an acute angle. The corners of the tails would be very weak, I wonder why they would have been made to such a sharp angle?
I suspect for the same reason that contemporary woodworkers do all kinds of intricate things with dovetails- showing off their skill.
Amazing
Accidentally how old is this piece?
Made about 1650
so a sewing box? and i bet he was chatting right out of that sewing box
Beyondbelief
Would love to know how they dated this.
Exquisite. 👌
What an unbelievably beautiful box 😍😍😍 And what a great labor of love to take 6 patient months to restore it to its original glory.
This video wasn't really ASMR but it sure was interesting!

unreal
They didn't show the skeleton?
Is this the box with the secret skeleton decoration underneath the top layer from the video a few months ago?
That’s what I was wondering. I went back to that video (3 months ago or so) and it looks like the same one
England ka chor bazar😂
LETS GOOOO

Please do a whisper or soft spoken at least. It’s really not ASMR with loud talking.
This is soft spoken to me, it’s more of an ‘unintentional’ soft spoken and she has a lovely voice for asmr. I hate fake whispering videos so this is perfect 👏🏼👏🏼
This is my fave type of ASMR. Feels like the old school ASMR vids people used to make
@@amyfrosty I don’t think this is soft spoken, at least not to me. I couldn’t even have it at half the volume as her voice was too loud.
Very enjoyable video indeed, but really not ASMR, except the drawers opening etc.

I agree - just do art history, leave the ASMR to the ASMR people
I find the speaking and voice adds to the ASMR, it doesn't always have to be whispering or no talking to be ASMR.
Asmr is not just whispering.

I dont think you know what asmr is. If you got the person who is talking to be abit softer, then were talking but this isn't asmr.
A lot of people like it this way ive listened to asmr for a few years now normal whispering just gets old
Oopa. Oopa...lumpa....😅..!!😊
I love this series, but some of the curators don't seem to understand or experience ASMR themselves or the videos would have more soft spoken/whispered explanations. Videos with more gentle sounds and less speaking would be appreciated!
Most disgusting thing I’ve heard today.
