context_page_description: The dimples of Venus are sagittally symmetrical indentations sometimes visible on the human lower back, just superior to the gluteal cleft. They are directly superficial to the two sacroiliac joints, the sites where the sacrum attaches to the ilium of the pelvis.
  An imaginary line joining both dimples of Venus passes over the spinous process of the second sacral vertebra.
