One of my dwarves recently created an adamantine mug with adamantine engravings worth 1.362 million.  I was astonished and horrified at the same time


and

Just got a steel sword and steel shield with images of each other on them. Definitely pairing these two together.

...What, were they made at the same time somehow? Is the sword's image really an image of some other shield in your civilization that your shield was based on? How does this even happen? ._.

I think it generates the images when you look at them, not when they are made.

[StagnantSoul]

Yeah, that's why Planepacked had 127 images of itself on it.

One of my dwarves recently created an adamantine mug with adamantine engravings worth approximately 1.362 million. 

Gotta watch out for those kobolds!

I've had a 2.8 million adamantine giant axe blade once, but I've seen a screenshot of something more expensive once, not sure if it was planepacked or no though.

I made a turban worth 8,452,880 once.  No special materials, just pig tail fiber cloth.  I posted the details of it here:  http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=121542.0

What would the highest possible value for a non-planepacked artefact be? It would have to be an adamantine large serrated disc or giant spiked ball - 300(adamantine)x120(artefact)x126(LSD/GSB) = 4.536.000☼ plus decorations. You get one decoration per material in the artefact, which is limited to base material plus seven for non-planepacked artefacts. Adamantine metal artefacts always (i think) use a single wafer as base, so you get a "free" 360.000 decoration for the base bar. For the other seven, the most valuable choices depend on item category chosen:
metal bar - adamantine (300x)
stone, stone block, cut gem - raw adamantine (250x)
rough gem - coloured diamond or star ruby/sapphire (60x)
bone, leather - roc (15x?)
rough glass - crystal (10x, only possible if you've already made crystal glass items in your fort)
cloth - most valuable choice available for decoration is silk - giant cave spider gives 4x; adamantine cloth is not used for artefact decorations, only as base material
wood - any (1x)

So the ideal would call for seven decoration materials, mostly of types where adamantine is an option. I don't think you can realistically get a smithing mood that asks for seven metal bars for decoration purposes(x), but an extra two bars and four stone/block/cabochon might be possible, with roc leather for the last slot; something around six and a half million dwarfbucks should be just barely possible.

(x) that'd make an actual eight adamantine decorations @ 360.000 each, so... 7.416.000 theoretically? Not sure, i just calculated this in my head.

Just got a new high one, Konoses Danmancuggin, Brasscleared the Heavy Sand
"this is a rubicelle flask. It is studded with platinum and encircled with bands of cheetah leather. This object menaces with spikes of Rubicelle and platinum.
On the item is an image of Edod Sidewarned the giant Jaguar in prase. Edod Sidewarned is labouring. The artwork relates to the settling of the giant Jaguar Edod Sidewarned in The Murk of Staves in 17"

Value: 150000

I had an Adamantine Serrated Disk in a 31.25 fort, it was worth over 7 million if I recall correctly.  I still have the save, so I might try to dig it up.

[Absentia]

I don't mess with the blue stuff much, but the one time I did I got an artifact mug. I think it was just over a million
