Not familiar with the particular configuration, but it looks like a swage block to me. Todd
The message from Carl contains these words:
It's for making dwarf-bread hot cross buns.
Bottom die for a drop hammer ?

Looks like it could be used for all sorts of things to me. I'm going to guess that it could be pretty useful for forge-welding a joint made by drifting one piece of bar stock and sliding another through it. Just a guess, though.
it's a swage for welding chain. have fun, mark

Looks like a bronze for sale/sold bulk item. 25 pound square x 4. That is the bottom side of a pouring. Easy to break off 1, 2, 4, 8... and put them in the melt. Bronze was used for many things. It is beautiful, workable by the smith and meltable.
That would be nice to have if one was melting bronze and pouring custom yard art or faucets or handle .....The low temp steel that is beautiful.
