I don't think the hole was for wearing or hanging? Looks more like a hinge for opening or closing. What does the back side look like, is it flat?

The back looks just like the front

Does it sit flat on a surface, like to put a hot pan on?
Part of a sun dial/clock maybe?

It looks the same on both sides

I agree with the hinge--could it be a door knocker since it was brass ?

Very unsure, but it looks like something made by Tiffany. Maybe a hinged handle grip off a fancy door.
