At the center is a field that is brown at the top and sand colored below. Equally overlapping both fields is an arrowhead with a lighter shade of purple at the top and a darker purple below. The tip of the arrowhead touches a design at the far right that contains a red border and a yellow field with a purple triangle. With little indication of wear or damage, the artifact is in good condition.
