Phrenology Bust Post
Today we observed an object to later do research on the object. The object was a porcelain bust of a head with writing and a diagram appearing to separate certain regions of the human brain.The head had a Title of phrenology near the bottom and it was labeled as an authentic model. I learned after some research that phrenology was studied around the 1800's and that the real antique bust were solid porcelain and the one we observed was hollow meaning it was not an antique. The porcelain head that we observed was made in Oregon making impossible to be real due to the time period the real ones were made. Doing research for this was interesting because there were many different models of this object. I soon realized that the name Authentic Models was actually the brand of porcelain heads and I found their website by researching the name.
