In my old fortress, a helluva lot of carvings seemed to be homages to some random carving of a diamond.  Never found the original.
It was probably the symbol of either your civilization or the local dwarven government. Think of it as a flag. And be glad if it's something cool like a diamond, and not, for example, cheese.

I had a civilisation with a symbol resembling a great white shark skull. Now that's awesome. I also got a civilastion with mermaids as a symbol

171. My character's dying words are not allowed to be "Hastur, Hastur, Hastur"
218. No matter my alignment, organizing halfling pit fights is a violation.
231. I am not allowed to do anything that would make a Sith Lord cry.
240. Any character with more than three skills specializing in chainsaw is vetoed.

Are you equally likely to get any body part?  In which case, has anyone's civ got the symbol of, say, a Harpy's pancreas?

Edit: done.

I guess he's a political cartoonist?

He said legendary engraver, not dabbling.

I find this funny, sigged ;D

I wonder if its possible to get a civ with a pig skull symbol. The Orwellian references would be brilliant

There are dwarves that are nothing but useless sacrifices - Miners are not one of them.
