| Commentary | Dipinto of a penis located at the eastern face of Pier A15, looking into Bay 5. The corpus of the penis is drawn horizontally and it is composed of a lower straight line and an upper convex one converging toward the tip. Two short lines indicate the dorsal artery; the foreskin and the meatus are also clearly outlined. The two drop-shaped testicles, which are rendered in multiple concentric lines, are placed vertically and touch at the center. |
