The alien mumus come from a planet called Dentol. Endangered by their disappearing habitat, there are only a few hundred mumus left. Each mumu is very intelligent with a big head pointed at the top.
My question is why "pointed" is used here instead of "pointing".
Can I say "with a big head pointing at the top"?
Thanks |

The head is pointed. It's a description of its shape. The head is pointing sounds like a finger that is pointing to something.
If the head is pointing at the top, it sounds like it moved its head to show where the top of a building was or something. |
