Not familiar with this style. Could it have been part of decoration (e.g. statue)?

Never seen anything like it but the metal/patina does look old.

Perhaps old East Indian 'parade' halberd? Many of their real weapons and armor had an accompanying dress-style' equivalents. The primitive decoration reminds me exactly like those found on parade khula khed helmets...

Thanks to all for your response.
It seems old but I canīt find any info of it, maybe you have reason and I have to search in Indian parade weapons or furniture / decoration items

Perhaps the Moderators might double-post this on the Ethnographics side. I truly feel this one is East Indian. That does not conflict with it being very old and a truly great piece!
