Phrenology Heads

From 1828 to 2011...making a comeback...
Greek for the word of knowledge. The basis of phrenology is that the form of the head or cranium represents the brain and thus reflects a person's character.

Modern day Phrenology Head within the shop.


"Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things." - Joe Paterno


UPDATE...
