Frenology Skull (+10 foto)
Today I am sharing a nice find from a vintage shop of amazing and very bizarre stuff located at Great Leighs village in UK. This is quite curious shop (which is accessible online at Etsy, as well). I have an intention to shape a post about this shop for the #MarketFriday challenge one day, but it has so much stuff to tell about that I really dont know where to start, hehe.

Винтаж это не только чайный сервиз вашей прабабушки и напольные часы прадедушки. Череп, представьте себе, тоже! Лавка продает огромное число всяких черепов, включая как животных, так и человеческие - в особенности, человеческие! Владелец повсюду разыскивает культурное наследие предыдущих эпох, согласно "профилю" лавки, да и те кто разгребают свои чердаки, не всегда несут своё старьё сразу на помойку - иногда разбирают и пытаются продать. Ассортимент магазина постоянно пополняется :)  
</div>
Vintage stuff may include not only your grandmother's tea sets and your grandpa's grandfather clock, but also such a strange thing as a skull, too. Truly so! The shop offers for sale a huge number of different skulls, including animal skulls and, especially, human ones! The shop owner is looking everywhere for the cultural heritage of previous eras, corresponding to his shop "special profile", and people who rake old attics do not always send their old stuff straight to the trash heap - sometimes they sort it out and try to sell. And thus, the store assortment is constantly being refreshed :)

Интересный экземпляр под названием 'kapala' - сделан из человеческого черепа (XIX в.) и использовался в качестве ритуального орудия в индуистской и буддийской тантре, чаще всего в Тибете.
</div>
An intresting one, named _'kapala'_ -- made from a human skull cap and used as a ritual implement in both Hindu Tantra and Buddhist Tantra, most commonly in Tibet. Date back to XIX century, again. Isnt it nice?

В продаже можно увидеть учебные пособия, сделанные для студентов-медиков... Но данный череп очень особенный, и определенно заслуживает отдельного поста. Это наглядное учебное пособие по Френологии, а сделан он был где-то в XIX веке, точнее не сказать.
</div>
From time to time one can see on sale skulls made as props for medical students ... but this particular skull is very special, it definitely deserves a separate post. This certain scull is the educational props for Phrenology, dating back to the XIX century... it is not possible to say more precisely. A real Vintage Thingie!

Френоло́гия, в современном понимании, это псевдонаука, претендующая на знание взаимосвязей между психикой человека и строением поверхности его черепа. Создателем френологии является австрийский врач и анатом Франц Йозеф Галль; он утверждал, что все психические свойства локализуются в различных участках мозга, и считал что различия в развитии мозговых извилин показывают выпуклости («шишки») и впадины на соответствующем участке черепа. Френология была крайне популярна в первой половине XIX века, однако развитие нейрофизиологии показало несостоятельность этой теории, постепенно общество потеряло интерес к френологии. Рельеф поверхности мозга не определяет психические свойства человека, а форма черепа не повторяет формы мозга.

Phrenology, in the modern sense, is a pseudoscience that claims to know the relationship between the human psyche and the structure of the surface of his skull. The creator of phrenology is the Austrian physician and anatomist Franz Josef Gall; he argued that all mental properties are localized in different parts of the brain, and believed that differences in the development of cerebral convolutions show bulges ("bumps") and depressions on the corresponding part of the skull. Phrenology was extremely popular in the first half of the 19th century, but the development of neurophysiology showed the inconsistency of this theory, and society gradually lost interest in phrenology. The relief of the surface of the brain does not determine the mental properties of a person, and the shape of the skull does not repeat the shape of the brain.
