Head Spear 3

Dear members ,
I would like to submit you a lot I bought during an auction coming from Baron von Hochstetter collection , Düsseldorf.
I am more keris collector orientated and know nothing about spears so would be happy to understand a little bit more on the origin of these head spears .
Looks like possible different origins ( Aceh ? Sulu Archipelago ? Sumatra ... )

From Top to hilt > 380 mm

Thanking you for your comments ....

This one does look like a Moro version, Southern Philippines. However, the owner may have been a Christian (the cross symbol).
