3000 years ago, a king found a cool rock and engraved it with a picture of himself handing it to his young daughter with the caption “I gave this cool rock to my beloved daughter, Bar-Uli” https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/W_1919-0712-635
pendant | British Museum

Large lump of blue chalcedony; pierced for suspension and thus used as a pendant; engraved cuneiform inscription on two sides; 11 ll; a seated king Shilhak-Inshushinak wearing a short-sleeved garment, holds a stone in his left hand, and his daughter, Bar-Uli, wearing a long-sleeved robe and diadem appears to wears the stone around her neck.
