Tawara
It probably is a tawara from Celebes (see: Traditional Weapons of the Indonesian Archipelago, page 143). The hair, usually goat's hair, should not run op to the point, but should stop about half way the shaft. I'll post a picture later. Does the foot of the shaft have an iron spike? Congrats with this acquisition!

Hello Danny,
The decorated woodcarving and the hair looks familiar. I have similar examples and as far as I know this is indeed celebes. Not a tawara as far as I am concerned. |

Here a nice photograph of a row of spears from Celebes, made by Albert Grubauer around 1911.
