This panel shows a modification to the practice of cutting off the enemy's hand. Since there was no way of telling a hand of the enemy from that of Ramssess III's soldiers, the practice was modified to bring back the severed penises of the enemy. Since the Egyptians were circumcised and the Nubbins were not, this seemed to be a fool proof way.
