It appears to me that there is a hole in the right (curved) end of the
iron bar, which is now corroded shut. That would indicate this artifact
was joined to another and was meant to pivot to some degree. So, is it a
very large hinge, or is it a lever from some piece of machinery? Or
something else entirely
