| Commentary: | Dipinto of a male sexual organ located on the right half of the back wall of Bay 8, toward the middle. The corpus of the penis is rendered by a lower straight line and an upper curving one. The area of the epithelium is indicated by a short vertical line departing at two-thirds of the corpus’ length. A series of concentric lines outline the round testicles, the lower one slightly bigger in size. Positioned at the two sides of the corpus, they are clearly separated from it and from each other. |
