A CURIOUS SPEAR HEAD

Can anyone help out with this one. It is 23'' long with a socket diameter of 0.75'' . The socket has some odd gold coloured spotted patterned on it . Love to know where this is from.

I had a similar spearhead identified as Ethiopian by a forum member, who is expert on Ethiopian arms in this thread:
