Age of possible copper "Bundt cake pan" Or what else could it be?

[Renaebri]

This was found buried in a field, in a site the coloured quarters of town were located at. It really looks like a bundt cake pan but I cant find any that look like it? Usually they have flat edges on the top but this one would have bumpy edges..but I dont really bake so idk.

May of been a chimney wall plate [ hole cover ]----

Hmm I dont know, it has a hole through it, almost like a funnel although I'm not sure exactly what shape it was since it's so mutilated. That's the kind of suggestions I'm looking for though, I didn't even know that was a thing.

Other ideas are maybe a plant stand, birdbath or broken instrument?

here's a closer shot of the detail on the middle part

maybe an old gelatin/jello mold?

It looks like a phonograph horn

Looks like a bunt pan to me also. The sky is the limit with designs. Ran across one of a turkey I’ve never seen before.
Good luck.

It may be a multi-purpose mold:

He hit it right with chimney wall plate. You can still buy them in steel at the hardware store. They go around the steel (then copper) flue pipe as it exits the building. I had a wood stove once and one of these.

I've tried bending it but it won't budge :/ its pretty sturdy
