Default Nigerian ceremonial (touristic ?) spearhead

I bought it in Abuja some time ago. I think, more or less, it is a touristic item on Chamba, Mandara etc. theme, nevertheless I like it, it has a decorative charge.
Just for pleasere ...

My guess is Chamba or Cameroon I am not sure whether it is ceremonial or touristic but whatever I think it is a nice item and a good example of the blacksmith`s work, thank you for sharing.
