Its from Somalia. The faceted socket and shape to the head are distinctive.

Interesting - so nearly from the spike of the Horn of Africa (Dolbahanta). Thank you Iain.

No problem, I suspect the attribution in the British museum to that location is simply the point of collection and may not necessarily indicate it is actually made there.

This Beja man is carrying a spear that looks to be of similar form although a much shorter blade.
