Hi

I have seen such plain spike points and brass strip decoration to the haft, on spears from the Southern Sudan (Dinka, Nuer etc). However, the copper strip winding is more often found on Congo weapons. With a socketed, rather than a tanged spearhead, it is from north of the Zambesi.

Hope this is of some help, Regards.
