Phrenology Head

Today in class we looked at a head that was made by L.N Fowler, a head that specifically shows phrenology. Phrenology is defined as the detailed study of the shape and size of the cranium as a supposed indication of character and mental abilities. Looking up information on this head we figured out that it was not an artifact and that it has been made in many places specifically in Oregon. Provenance is the place of origin or earliest known history, which is what we did in class, we looked up where this object came from, who made it, how they made it, and if it was an original. the type of research that most of our class did to find this object was to look up phrenology and L.N. Fowler, We all lead on from there after we got a small explanation of it. This head is not used as much in the world today, because no one can really tell if its true or not, or if the signs of symptoms and different emotions actually happen in that area.
