Note du spécialiste
Phrenology is a pseudoscience in which bumps on the skull are measured and analyzed to determine character and mental traits. This Phrenology head has been confirmed to be northern white cedar by scientific wood analysis. This supports the idea that the piece, which was found in Maine, was likely made in that area as well.
