Abstrakt: The following essay discusses a green jasper plaque inscribed for pharaoh Amenhotep II of Dynasty XVIII of Egypt's New Kingdom within the context of his historically documented love of horses. The plaque is significant because it is one of only two representations in the history of ancient Egyptian art which depicts a pharaoh actually hand-feeding his favorite steed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
