Lack of understanding of the functioning of body and mind made Victorian scientists come up with some pretty bizarre ideas. They believed that all the faculties, as they called them, were located in particular areas of the brain. By measuring skulls, they could define the type and character of any person. Made of fine crackled porcelain.

Funny little conversation piece for your home. Would probably make a good bookend.

This cool and somehow not creepy piece is a great conversation piece in any home. I love the incongruity of the butterflies on a very medical looking head.

I freaking adore Phrenology heads. I still have yet to purchase one, but I remember squealing with delight at the random heads I came across in the antiques alley (Royal Ave) in New Orleans years ago. ('03)

I have a pretty big dent in the back of my head. I don't know how it got there. Maybe this can give me some insight.
