It's a bit eerie that it is made of turtle bones and called "The Breaker of Gulfs," given the current disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Basic value: 108,000. I find it interesting that of the three events depicted in images on the mace, two of them occurred before the founding of my fortress. Does that mean that the bonecarver dwarf remembers things that happened to him before he migrated to the fortress? Do dwarves only make images of events they personally witnessed? Or does their art include things they heard about in legends?

That's a badass mace, first of all. Second, I'm pretty sure they carve depictions of legends as well. I recall some of my dwarfs born in 1450(or something) carve legendary attacks and killings from year 500 and before
Events in your fortresses are recorded in Legends. They carve things from Legends. There's heavy weight toward things they personally witnessed, though.
