| Two pictograms represent a female and a large penis between her legs. The body of a quadruped is the indicative of the female. Two different parts of the animal body represent respectively male and female. Thus the union, unites head to body as a single body. Several considerations emerge from the syntax of this depiction. Different parts of the same animal may symbolize different things: tongued head of bovine (=female); body of bovine (=male). Maybe it is a proverb or a precept like "the union makes a single body of woman and man", or the address of a male to a female, or "you are my tongued head" or "you are my body". Behind the body of quadruped there is a line which touches both the penis and the quadrupes. This line can be identified as a "bātonnet", which often appears to be a sort of verb in a visual sentence, like "to do" or "to penetrate". |
