The blade decoration certainly looks more African than Indian.

I agree that the socket looks Indian (that's why I could understand why you thought Indian) but the decoration and needle point makes me think African - it seems our fellow forum members agree - now it's just a case of somebody identifying where in Africa!!

Wild stab in the dark says Ethiopian. I've seen other double and triple headed spears from that general area.
