Blue / White Ceramic Phrenology Head Bust Brain

Phrenology is the study of the structure of the skull to determine a person's character and mental capacity. This science is based upon the assumption that mental faculties are located in brain "organs" on the surface of the brain and can be detected by visible inspection of the head and skull. This cool blue and white ceramic phrenology bust makes a great gift for doctors, med students and anyone interested in phrenology. The skull is printed with a map-like sectioning, showing what part of the brain affects which personality traits. The bust measures 12 3/4 inches tall, 6 inches wide and 6 inches deep. It makes a great conversation piece. NOTE: This is a decorative piece, and some of the information printed on the head may be invalid or misprinted. This head should not be used to prepare for lobotomies, bloodlettings, exorcisms or any other medieval practice.
