Shaft is over 6 feet. Is this European, African, or other? Thanks

The dimensions of the head are fairly small but the head is quite robust and the socket suggests it was hand forged. The very plain design of the head could be from almost anywhere b ut Africa would not be my first choice. I think it's probably a lance rather than a spear.
