Is this an arrow? 
I have some East african arrows with large heads also unflethed which is normal.  Also seen in melanesia.  Not sure about the binding?

  Hi Tim,
            I took the 'iron point' at 7.75"   to be the spear point/blade .....now I can see that the entire metal work (barbs and shaft)  is 7.75" (looking at the scale... ie 1/3 the length ) 
    I agree, an arrow ...probably not that old. Another lesson learnt....don't quickly 'scan' a post....you may draw the wrong conclusions  
 
Kind Regards David
