Hi Charles, the fullering reminds me very much of forms found in the keris .
The blade of this spear reminds me a bit of a keris buda; so I think Indonesian is not out of the question .

The decoration within the fullers is the curve ball for me; it seems un-Javanese to me, at least .

I wonder, could it be from Bali ???
