While not my spear I can answer that.
these big ones are cavalry lances for thrusting.
Lighter examples were made to be thrown and a rider would carry three or so.
To get a sense of why you don't want to try to throw something this big see this thread for one of mine with comparison shots next to swords for a sense of scale
