ancientanimalart:Feeding Calveslimestone (with both ancient and modern paint)Egypt, New Kingdom, reign of Akhenaten (circa 1352-1336 BCE)“One of the most unusual scenes of daily life from el Amarna, this block depicts a herdsman thrusting his hand down the throat of a tethered cow. He may be force-feeding the animal or helping it digest its food. Above the cow we can see traces of three more animals and, at the far left, part of a much larger bovine, perhaps the mother cow.”Brooklyn Museum -- source link
