I have seen these in commercial gas ranges.   A visit to a local restaurant stove supply house should answer your question and might even tell you the maker from the casting marks. Gas enters from right and tab at other end is a support.

found, and am totally stumped as to what it could be.  I've had suggestions of 
everything from an old gas burner from a stove to a trac tor part to an 
elevation marker.  The object is 29 centimeters long, 13 centimeters wide, and 
3 1/2 centimeters in thickness.  It has six spokes coming out of the main pole, 
and machine-made holes 1 centimeter apart in said spokes.  the other side 
has "ANDES B12 BE 3023" embossed on the back.  I've listed links to pictures 
below.  

If anyone has any insight to the identity of this particular artifact, I'd be most 
greatful.

Thanks!

Sincerey,
