Coiln,
It has barbs to two edges, the one visible and the opposite. They're not very prominent or sharp - more decorative than functional.
I should find out more about African arrows - it's a good size for a heavy un-nocked un-flighted arrow.
David,
I think it's too small, light, and pointy for a spear butt. Do you know of any similarly petite examples?
I've never seen a traditional tanged spear butt. It would be interesting to see some if you know of any.
Thanks for the ideas!
