Of course it's just a spider from beneath... but it's a female and you're looking at the epigyne or epigynum which is of course the external genital structure of females. The primary function of the epigyne is to receive and direct the palpal organ of the male during copulation.

Ta Alf - it used to confuse me once upon a time that the females had what looked like a gigantic male part!
