Default Indian spearhead for comments

Here my second piece. A blue spearhead from india i purchased quite recently.

I liked it because of its colour, its in very good condition and i thought it must be rare. I tracked down 3-4 similiar ones prior and after my purchase to compare but sadly didnt find out much more yet. There is some hints that one is featured in a english catalogue from 2001 or so and since i am in London soon for more weaponary i will try to trace it in the libary for comparisment. Maybe its mine? Would be funny

Also there is one very similiar in a other collection but sadly the person never came back to my question.

It must have been mounted on a wooden pole at some time since there is still some sort of residue inside.
Would you say early 19th century, Rajasthan would be a place to put it??

Many thanks in advance
