Dipinto of a male sexual organ, located in the upper left quadrant of the back wall of Bay 25. Placed below dipinto D25.1, it is now quite damaged by a large lacuna, so that only the left painted testicle is still clearly discernible, while of the right one only the base is left. The shaft was probably never drawn, suggesting that this could have been just an early attempt abandoned halfway in favor of another one of the numerous penises that are present in this bay.
