It is primarily reddish-brown in color, with some darker brown and black spots and marks. There are three black marks on the object, resembling hieroglyphics or other forms of writing. A red number "P228" is written on the bottom right side of the object. The object is set against a plain gray background. The title of the image is "Arrowhead" by an unknown artist.
