origin of this spear?

Hello Danny, my first thoughts went to Batak, Indonesia as the brass part with those protuding knobs remind me of those long/large brass Batakpipes. This type of spearpoint is used all the way to South Philippines.
Thogh guess you thought of it being Batak aswell . . . .as you searched in the RMV collection, not?

Hello Indianajones ,

Thanks for your answer , good guess that Batak did cross my mind also
but a friend collector pointed me in the direction of Jambi ?

But when I look on rmv I cant find a clear photo with the protruding knobs.
