Mine's not really that great, but I like it nonetheless.
Visecradle, a lignite bed
This is a lignite bed. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with rock crystal, decorated with oak and encircled with bands of lignite and iron. This object menaces with spikes of lignite, pin jade and iron.
On the item is an image of Vinena Tamecrows the elf in rock crystal. Vinena Tamecrows is traveling. The artwork relates to the journey of the elf Vinena Tamecrows to The Plains of Twisting in the midsummer of 14 during the Fifth Journey of the elf Vinena Tamecrows.
On the item is an image of Visecradle the lignite bed in badger leather.
The funny thing is, this was made right after an elven caravan left the fortress. I think the dwarf who made this wanted to wish them safe travels, or something.
EDIT: And as soon as I post this, some random dwarf makes a perfect brown zircon with bands of brown zircon that manages to be worth more than this (48000). What.
Also, self-referencing. Yeah.
