Naqiʾa was a wife of the Assyrian king Sennacherib (705–681 BC). She was highly influential in Assyrian history, as well as being one of only a few Assyrian women to be depicted in art; and is the only known ancient Assyrian figure other than kings to write and issue a treaty. #CelebratingWomen

Thanks to J.G. Dercksen’s 1996 dissertation on Old Assyrian copper trade, we have a good hunch as to what is meant here. While Old Assyrian copper and Old Babylonian copper have differing qualitative language, the copper supply was not very diverse.

Finding out that I’m Assyrian queen material in the best way
"Stop procrastinating" in cuneiform:
"Why don't you write your tablet and do your homework? If you don't, they will say: "Is *this* the sister of Sheru'a-eṭirat, eldest daughter of the Succession Palace of Ashur-etel-ilani-mukinni, the great king, mighty king, king of the world, king of Assyria?"

Queen Liballi-sharrat, the wife of king Ashurbanipal, and his sister Sherua-etirat were both literate.
In fact, Sherua-etirat once scolded her sister, then the crown princess, for not doing her homework. Literacy, it seemed, was an expectation of these Assyrian queens.
