Ceremonial Arrowhead

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Ceremonial Arrowhead by Mark Rothko is not correct, as Mark Rothko was a painter. The object is a long, thin, pointed artifact. The pointed top is gray and yellow with a design of two rounded shapes stacked on top of each other. The top and bottom of the pointed section have curving line designs. The bottom section is mostly yellow with a design and a gray band around it near the middle. The background is grey with a shadow underneath.
