Worst? Probably the pine amulet encircled with bands of pig iron and menacing with spikes of naked mole dog leather.


Of course, that was balanced out by the cotton candy battleaxe that ended up going to my master axedwarf militia commander so that he could be even more effective at killing the clowns.

A mug. can remember exact rescription but one of its 3? engravings was of a dwarf and an elf. the dwarf is striking down the elf.
ive had a cow bone menacing spike that adorns a weapon trap and in a differentfortress, a mica door with engraving of a giantess crippling an elf princesses eyelid.

In an early fort I somehow managed to get two two-humped camel bone armour stands in a row.
Worth a grand total of 2400 urists.

I got a yak leather boot with a picture of itself on it as my last artifact.  The only good thing about it was the guy that made it became a legendary leather worker because of it.

It's funny how many people think artifacts are lame when in fact they are awesome.

Make this one into a lever and put it in your dining room to generate an unending stream of happy thoughts. Set it on continual pull and assign it to unhappy dwarves and you will get even more benefit, albeit at the cost of burning their labor cycles.

I got a mussel shell figurine of blood gnats.  With an image of blood gnats, in mussel shell.

Urist was also possessed at the time.

Talk about a waste of a good mussel shell...

A cave spider silk face veil. The best part? in a different fortress I had got another cave spider silk face veil.

It's a funny trade-off.  Useless item, with awesome engravings.  My artifact chair yesterday is very useful--it's in one of the community dining rooms--but it has images of elves striking down dwarves. My parent civ is at war with the elves and has been for over 100 years.

don't be too hard on the door and the menacing spike--they may not be exciting but they're useful!

My leatherworker took the butcher's shop and made a baby bone ring.
He killed a freaking baby for some ring that's worth only 1200 dwarfbucks.

A bone helmet made out of dwarf bone from a fell or macabre mood. It was made out of my legendary miner and it had nothing on it.

I can't help but to think that the fell dwarf just decapitated the miner and used his skull as a helmet.

At least it wasn't your legendary armor/weaponsmith. ;)   .22 is supposed to have fixed the bone artifacts not showing their decorations, as well.
