Indonesian? Spear

Thank you, gentlemen. The methuk is separate and also solid - this is fairly obvious looking up from the tang in the area usually hidden by the pole. It has been very carefully fitted to the spearhead with the very inconspicuous join apparently being just beyond the undecorated groove. The blade end of the pole has a ferrule appearing to be made of brass before the rolled edge of the silver sleeve.

I will provide additional images, as requested, when an opportunity with appropriate natural light presents itself.
