TITLE: The Deep Woods
ARTIST: Svetoslavs Karlsons
YEAR: 4656
TYPE: Oil Painting
OWNER: Aikums Museum of Art
LOCATION: Aikums
VALUATION: 90,000 DOLS

OVERVIEW: This painting depicts the deep wilderness found in Dolgava's interior. The forest with fall colors depicts a forest in fall foliage. Painted by the obscure painter Svetoslavs Karlsons the painting took a life of its own as it became a staple in Dolgavan folk art and landscape art. The simple ways the brushstrokes outline the trees and backgrounds make the scene almost effortless. The painting is located at the Aikums Art Museum and is a popular piece there.

TITLE: Personal armor of Iwanami Masayori
ARTIST: Unknown armorer of Aso Armory
YEAR: c. 1243
TYPE: Iron samurai armor of the katchū (甲冑) style
OWNER: Unknown
LOCATION: Unknown
VALUATION: $1,200,000-$1,300,000

OVERVIEW: A set of iron samurai armor with crest done in the middle-late katchū (甲冑) style, and as such able to withstand hits from rudimentary projectiles as well as melee weapons. Used in ceremony and in combat by Japanese warlord Iwanami Masayori (1201-1273), who led Clan Iwanami to victory against Clan Winoue at the end of the Warring States Period of Gao-Soto, uniting the Empire under an Iwanami-dominated court. Dried blood found in many parts of the armor, believed to be that of Winoue soldiers, spilled by Iwanami and his men in the decisive Siege of Kumimamoto.
During the time of the Third Empire of Gao-Soto, kept in Fujiramoto Shrine (Fujiramoto, Yokotori Subprefecture, Hilgar Prefecture) and viewable in person only after extensive vetting by the Ministry of Education and Culture as well as evaluation by Shrine leadership. Reproductions available for viewing by the public in the Imperial Museum in Idōwa and other major museums in Gao-Soto, as well as around the world. Armor was worn by Coordinating Minister for Will Tanigawa Kazuki in a 4957 suicide charge against Rowiet troops in Fujiramoto during the Great Dovanian War (4953-4958). Presumably damaged armor was then stolen by Rowiets; location of armor unknown.

TITLE: 6 Great Crowns of Gongmangdo Wangguk
ARTIST: Collective Work of Ancient Artisans, Names Now Lost to History
YEAR: 668
TYPE: Golden Crowns for Ceremonial Use by Royals, Finely Bejeweled
OWNER: Hyeokjin People's Museum (혁진인민박물관), under the Worker's Commissariat of Education and Culture (교육문화 로동자위원)
LOCATION: Hyeokjin People's Museum, Hyeokjin Metropolitan City, Kyo Communist Councilist Republic, Union of Communist Councilist Republics
EVALUATION: Worth Roughly $54,000,000-$100,000,000 Collectively

OVERVIEW: 6 crowns, all made in the year 668, were crafted for ceremonial - but not daily wear - of the Bae Hwangshil (House of Bae), the ruling dynasty of the Gongmangdo Kingdom, often considered the first polity on the Kyo Peninsula. It is believed Baekgu the Great wore the Geumijeom Crown (pictured furthest bottom-right) at the reunification rite that would unite the Kyo Peninsula under the banner of the Baenara, often translated as Baekgu Dynasty.

All come in 3 main pieces, a golden inner-cap, a decorated outer crown (pictured), and jade-studded chains of gold hanging beneath. The crowns show exquisite craftsmanship for the era, with gold purity ranging from 13 to 24 carats depending on the crown. Jade ornaments and other precious stones cover 5 out of 6 crowns. The gold-work is decorated with shapes and carvings that evoke swans, dragons, phenoxies, taegeuks, and other auspicious symbols of the era.

The crowns were excavated by Kyo archeologists in the year 3613, switching ownership between private groups, chaebol, and museums, but ultimately falling into state hands following the August Revolution of 4929. They are currently kept together and displayed prominently in the same room at the Hyeokjin People's Museum, where, as the name implies, anyone is allowed to see them during museum hours.

TITLE: Fishermen off Yamaramoto
ARTIST: Hijikata Terukata
YEAR: c. 1345
TYPE: Woodblock print
OWNER: Ministry of Education and Culture of the Empire of Gao-Soto (Mikuni Kyōiku Bunka-Shō, 御國教育文化省)
LOCATION: Imperial Museum, Idōwa, Idōwa Special Municipality, Gao-Soto
VALUATION: $1,750,000 (original), $500,000-$1,200,000 (impressions made with original woodblocks), $2,000-$300,000 (impressions made with later woodblocks).

OVERVIEW: One of the most recognizable pieces of art in the world. Created during the height of Iwanami Gao-Soto cultural development by Hijikata Terukata in his coastal workshop in situ in the village of Yamaramoto, in modern-day Kuratha Prefecture. Considered to be Hijikata's defining masterpiece for its distinctive style as well as its rare balance of diversity in color and lack of it. Original copy kept in workshop for years, but posthumously given by Hijikata to Emperor Go-Takai upon the former's death in 1357. Kept in private collection of each proceeding monarch of each iteration of the state, occasionally falling into the ownership of non-monarchistic governments, until finally coming into the hands of the Ministry upon the institution of the modern Empire of Gao-Soto.
Has been on display in the Imperial Museum to the public since 4937. Over 6,000 impressions made with Hijikata's original woodblocks estimated to be in public and private collections and ownership throughout the world, as are approximately more than 400,000 made with later woodblocks. Untold numbers of non-woodblock recreations in existence worldwide.
