Better images would help. Including the entire spear. It is certainly west African. Tuareg is possible but so are a few other groups.

Hello,

Is this not from Madagascar? I thought that particular flush socket-shaft construction with collars and flared but was a distinct feature of Malagasy spears.

The Madagascar examples seem to invariably have broad heads, a bit different than this. Leading me to think more along west African lines.
