Mystery arrow or javelin

This is a mystery to me. Middle Eastern, the seller suggested. Ottoman? Persian? Something else?

It was suggested that it might be a siege arrow. No flights or nock, and the end of the shaft flares out in way that doesn't suggest it had flights or nocks on a cut-off section. 82g, which is very, very heavy for a Turkish/Persian/Indian arrow.

It looks more like a small javelin to me, a very small and light javelin.

Might it be (North?) African?
