A small arrow with a chicozapote shaft. A small section at the front end of the shaft has been carved with tailwards facing barbs. The head of the arrow is a sharp flint tip. The arrow has two feathers that are green, red, and black in color. These are either parrot or toucan feathers. The arrow is wrapped with black cording in three places: just below the flint tip, on the shaft just below the carved barbs, and on the shaft just above the tailfeathers.
