The image shows the tip of a spear. The metal tip is long and thin, with a pointed tip. It has a central ridge running down its length, and two small notches on either side near the base. A short section of the shaft is visible below the metal tip; it appears to be made of wood or another dark material. The background is solid black. The title of the image is "Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)" by an unknown artist.
