Arrowhead

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Arrowhead by an unknown artist depicts a white, triangular stone tool with a rough base and jagged edges. The stone is predominantly white with some tan and brown undertones. The base is rough and textured, while the rest of the stone has a smoother, more glassy appearance. A red marking is visible on the left side of the stone near the base, featuring the letters "P214" written vertically. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
