Hello Maurice,
Congrats, this is gorgeous!
Apparently, we're looking at a Sulu spear: There are quite a few stylistic differences to the usual Moro spears (from Mindanao) and their Lumad counterparts.
I'm at a loss regarding the butt end of this long spear...

Also any idea about the colour of the spearhead? It looks like it could be some sort of bronze forged in it??

The blade needs a gentle cleaning and etching - that will help to show details. Brass inlay might be possible but silver would seem more suitable for such a status piece.
Regards,
