Phrenology, derived from the Ancient Greek word for 'knowledge,' is a pseudoscience that interprets skull contours to infer mental attributes. This 19cm ceramic phrenology head displays a quote from Mr L N Fowler, the originator of this practice, alongside detailed sections of the head and their associated traits. Crafted from off-white ceramic with a crackled glaze and black inscriptions, it serves as both an educational piece and a distinctive decorative object.
