A giant olm bone bracelet.
It has a picture of a laboring dwarf and an artifact gold buckler on it.
It's pretty much a waste of bones.
My dwarves went through quite some effort to kill and butcher that giant olm, and now the bones were used in a BRACELET.
At least it was worth about 15 thousand urists.

This is a  cow bone toy  axe.  All craftsdwarfship is of  the highest quality. It  is decorated with cow bone and  kapok and encircled  with  bands of pink garnet. This  object is adorned with  hanging rings of mule bone and raw adamantine and menaces with spikes of  cacao wood and raw adamantine. On the item is an image of Witheredvoices the adamantine ring in horse bone.
On the item is an image of Domas Strappedmountains the dwarf and dwarves in emerald. Domas Strappedmountains is surrounded by the dwarves. The artwork relates to the ascension of the dwarf Domas Strappedmountains to the position of king of The Messianic Hammer in 165.

I got a turtle bone gauntlet. Or something. It was a gauntlet named The Basis of Funerals, though, which counts for something... or would have, at least, had I killed the creator over it.

It seems that Olon Rigothegem, a relatively useless immigrant that arrived in the spring of my second year, had two useful skills ... level 1 metal crafter and level 1.8 bone carver.
It's a pity only elites will wield artifacts. That would have made a neat live training weapon.

I'm in the same position with a leatherworker / woodcrafter. At least one of my starting seven will be happy, he's already had a master bone carver come in and steal his thunder.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

DwellIvy the Deterioration of Happiness. A Birchen Crutch. 2400 bucks. No decoration... it was made from a single log of Birch, with no other ingredients.

... on the other hand, a Legendary Carpenter is nothing to scoff at. Masterwork Beds for everybody!

Well its name is suiting Blue Emu, your happiness would deteriorate if you broke you leg and had to use a crutch.

My worst artifact is Mebzuth Gutid, "The Oar of Uttering", a bismuth spear.
Made by a single block bizmuth brought from a caravan.

Worth 6720 DB.

I had an otherwise-undecorated zinc earring. Made by a possessed dorf, so I didn't even get a legendary metalcrafter out of it.

A possession gave me a cedar bed adorned with bronze spikes. With a picture of itself in bronze. Needless to say, I sold it dumped it down into the caverns it as soon as I could, and had the creator banished to the caverns for wasting bronze. I enlisted him into the military so he wouldn't flee from a fight, he's currently winning a fist fight with a molemarian, although he seems to have lady luck backing him. If he survives a season in the caverns, I may let him back into the fort.

EDIT: I said sell when I meant buried it in the caverns, sleep deprivation is at work. I wish I could sell artifacts, though, so maybe it's just my brain editing subconscious messages into my posts.

I sold it

Two things.

First, WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU SELL AN ARTIFACT BED?!

Second of all... HOW DO YOU SELL ARTIFACTS?  :o

On the bright side, it happened after you upgraded to a version that supports bone artifacts with decorations on them. ;)  Sucks that raw adamantine was used. ;(

Questions seconded! :D  I tried to sell an artifact.  It let me move it to the depot, but it did not display the item in the list of things I could sell ...

As long as alongside this statue is the dead mutilated body of the king, its's all good. Also, hi.
