In this terracotta model, commissioned by Giuseppe Galletti, the back of the uterus has reached the height of the umbilicus. The fetus, in cephalic presentation, is already at the development stage in which all the organs are formed and, in highly favorable conditions, could survive outside the womb. Here (as in items XVIII.9 - XVIII.10 - XVIII.12 - XVIII.13) we can observe the typical or normal attitudes of the fetus inside the uterus, such as head bent forward, lower joints flexed, arms folded on chest or lodged in the crook between head and thorax. Thanks to this crouching position, recognizable from the start of fetal development, the fetus acquires a near-oval shape and occupies about half the length that it would in an extended position.
