Elephant Goad, Ankus?
This is what I believe to be an Indian Elephant Goad, even though I guess it could be Indonesian; maybe the crocodile is a hint to its origin.
It looks like something may have broken off the front at some time? |

Interesting theory; I had to look the name "Makara," up to understand your reference.

Indian ones usually have a steel haft with a spike that is scrwed inside. Also elephant motif.---bbjw

I think interested party is spot on. It must be some form of trishula used in religious festivals, shame it is broken.

I'm not sure about the trishula reference; isn't that a 3 pronged trident?
