Abstract. The article deals with the paroemias of the Russian language with the somatic component "head" in the composition, objectifying the conceptual metaphor HEAD IS A CONTAINER. Observations made by the author during the analysis of these linguistic units serve as proof that the concept HEAD in the minds of the Russian native speakers is partially structured by the figurative scheme CONTAINER.
