Actually Maurice this type of spear end is not that unusual for Moro and Lumad spears/lances.

Thank you Battara - I knew I was out on a limb with that attribution; I just have not seen enough reference examples of these up close.

Maurice, from what I can tell there was never any more to the butt treatment. Water damaged wood does protrude a few millimeters. I guess the cap would impede it sinking too far into moist earth, or not?

That is the idea.

Some butt caps seal the end. Then there are those with no butt caps......
