The sculpture to the lower right is dedicated to the jointing of the foot, which Leonardo studied at the same time as the shoulder anatomy.
In particular, we can see the bones of the leg, the tibia and fibula, disjointed from one another, which fit onto the talus to make up the ankle joint. Although Leonardo shows the complicated combination of the seven bones of the tarsus, he does not consider them separately in drawings at any point.
