You do notice the lack of pamor on the metuk ?
This would signify to me that it is a separate piece from the spear blade .

Isn't this a Mataram era piece David ?

Hi Rick
I do believe this is Mataram, with the potential of being even earlier. The age of the piece is probably best appreciated with it in hand, and the state of preservation is excellent. The dress is recent but appropriate to the piece.

It is really beautiful and has been well maintained .
The pamor control from what I can see is outstanding .
