Not a church bell pulley; those things are HUGE.
Something smaller.

chain pump part ? can't find an old photo but here is what they look like now.
not likely a pully if made of lead.

Line spacer/separator pulley. But if the hole is threaded. probably not...

It is unusual for lead to have been so corroded that it is all pitted. Could it be an alloy? If so, that would be more in line with its being a pulley. Lead is too soft for moving parts, normally.

Yes, and I would think too soft for threads in the hole.
I could see using lead (or an alloy) if the object was a flywheel, but it seems too small for that too.

It looks to have some design or writing on it. Need to clean it up
