Phrenology is the study of the shape of the skull to indicate a person`s mental abilities and character traits. This is a white phrenology head that doubles as a coin bank, so you can really use your head to save some coins (and dollars!). It has a colored map of the different faculties in phrenology. It measures 7 1/2 inches high, 3 1/2 inches wide and 4 1/4 inches deep. It easily empties via a silicone plug in the bottom and has foam pads to help prevent scratching delicate surfaces. It is made from ceramic and hand-painted with a crackle finish. A great addition to bedrooms, libraries, or doctor`s offices, and a great gift for students!
