So after all those "Most expensive artifact", "Stupidest artifact", etc. topics. I thought it would be a good idea to share my most useless artifact so far.

Asrathnoval Kes, "The Occult Bride of Scratches", a Mango tree cup
This is a mango tree cup. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. This object menaces with spikes of mango tree and pine.

Ouch. Thank god dwarves don't use mugs. Drunk dwarves + spiky cup doesn't sound too... Comforting...

[Squeegy]

That's not useless! It's a trinket! Also a torture device. How much is it worth?

[Crushy]

3600 so says the artifact menu  :p

[Draco18s]

Sort of in the vein, I've had a horse bone serated disc (why oh why did it have to be made of bone?) and a lungfish bone mace (again, the stupidity of materials abounds).

[Vugor]

atleast your people make artifacts

ive had 3 people starve to death and 1 go beserek cause they all tried to make artifacts but i don't have any shells, and of course that is what they all wanted......jeez silly dwarves, my sheriff was luckily right next to the one who went beserk and 1 hit killed him into a wall 5 tiles away, yay legendary miner/record keeper!!!!

Adamantine sock which uses 4 wafers to decorate. Enough said.

Kutam Mostod.  "The Speaker of Shaming".  A Moss agate puzzlebox
This is a Moss agate puzzlebox.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  This object is adorned with hanging rings of Moss agate.

I've got a mango tree idol, Zararak Zikelotthat, 'Outrageshafts the Fierce Direction.' On the item is an image of dwarves and elves in mango tree, the dwarves are speaking with the elves. Worth 2400 monies.

Yeeeeeah... the guy who made this piece of junk is now in my military, using it as a make-shift club. Maybe he'll get shot by goblins.

On the flipside, my mostt awesome artifact by far is Rashdesis, 'Diesnarling,' a mica coffin worth 33600 monies. Sudded with iron, encircled with bands of iron an aventurine, and menaces with rubber tree spikes. Two images of dwarves travelling, one in mica, one in granite, and one of (ugh) elves and dwarves in goblin bone. Why are all my engravings of elves and dwarves, we don't even trade very much with them. Just a bit of cloth.

That actually sounds kickass.  A puzzle box made of gemstones?

Am I the only one who sees a problem here?

[Neskiairti]

there are problems all over.. but i just 'rationalized' that by spikes it meant the tines/teeth of the gears

[Pandarsenic]

Can you even MAKE artifact mechanisms? O_o
I never have and probably never will have the confusion of seeing one because I tend to combo mechanic with a less-intensive job that they won't do too often.
