My group researched a lot about the people involved in the study and the basics and origin of the study of phrenology. I learned that anything can be a primary source, it all depends on the question you're asking.
Provenance: the place of origin or earliest known history of something.
This particular skull could be a primary source if you are researching replicas of phrenology skulls, but it would only be a secondary source if you are researching the original skulls made in the 1880s
