how to replace downward arrow on downloads folder in dock

I accidentally put this folder into trash. Retrieved it simply enough with click and drag, but the folder has now lost its downward arrow icon. Any way of getting it back?

The same thing has happened to my documents folder

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

Any more thoughts, anybody. It's not really serious, but I like everything to be right!

Going back to my earlier post, do you see the folders with their appropriate icons when they're in a new Finder window?

But would that get rid if all my downloads, documents and applications?
