On Some Healing Bowls from Anatolian Museums and their Visibility

Abstract

Six healing bowls, five of which are made of metal and one of which is made of seashells, were scientifically introduced and evaluated for the first time in some museums Anatolia. It has been observed that digital (augmented reality (AR)) technology has not yet been used in museums related to artifacts. People will be able to see the healing bowls, all of which are handcrafted and original, only when they go to museums within their own means. With this publication, various solutions have been offered for the diversity and richness of the healing bowls introduced to the scientific community and for them to be more visible. Accordingly, thanks to digital (AR) technologies, it will be possible to open the healing bowls, which are not well known and produced by a certain culture to get rid of diseases, overcome their fears and meet their different expectations and wishes, to visitors all over the world. By constructing the healing bowls with AR technology, the interest and attention of the visitors in the museums, where to pay attention when using this bowl, and the rituals according to the diseases made and used will be transferred to the digital environment and an interactive experience will be provided to the visitors. The use of these technologies in museums will also significantly enrich the way healing bowls are made accessible to a wider audience. The importance of using technologies and keeping up with the times in order to make the healing bowls, which are invisible outside the museums, visible, was emphasized.
