The image shows an arrowhead, by unknown artist, depicting a small, brown, stone object with a pointed tip. The object is roughly teardrop-shaped, with a jagged edge and a rough texture. It has a dark brown color with lighter brown and tan marbling throughout. There are black markings on the surface of the object, possibly writing or symbols. A red marking is partially visible on the bottom of the object. The background of the image is a plain, off-white surface.
