Exaggerated genitals
editAt the end of Oxtotitlán#Description we find the phrase "His exaggerated genitals" which raises the suspicion of censorship of the word "penis" or "phallus". We deserve more detail (on this talk page; i have no opinion at this point abt inclusion in the article). There are a lot of questions:
- _ _ Is this the cultures typical portrayal of ithyphallus? Or should the low angle of erection be construed as either a flaccid penis (exhibiting hypertrophy?), or going out of the artist's way to convey a focus on the cat's hindquarters?
- _ _ Is there a stereotype in the portrayal of the cat that requires the (IMO hypertrophied) tail to be in danger of tripping the man? I assume it is known the danger (but for the spots on the tail) of confusing the tail with the man's penis could not plausibly reflect a visual joke.
- _ _ Why is the tip of the presumed penis "open", i.e. why is it represented by parallel lines, rather than a continuous shape? Is the artwork damaged, by weathering or jealous locals? Would greater resolution help
- _ _ Is there a convention of showing face and crotch light, and the rest of the body so dark? Or are the testicles in fact even more exaggerated (occupying the rest of the white area) than the phallus (or flaccid penis), actually making "His exaggerated genitals" accurate, rather than "His exaggerated phallus"?
Hmm, there's someone's re-rendering of it as "Painting 1d drawing." at FAMSI - David Grove - The Middle Preclassic Period Paintings of Oxtotitlan, Guerrero (1968 and 1969); i'd say it answers less, in itself, than i'd hoped.
