Mystery iron loop-d-loop?

[Tpmetal]

Anyone have any ideas? its big, its old, its odd. I found it in the woods near an old ice pond. I was thinking something to do with horse or ox rigging of some sort but I'm not really sure? anyone even find one of these before? Also don't mind the cat, she was a good dumpster score awhile ago and I already identified it as Lyla.

The top of a bucket or barrel? Maybe a handle attached to the holes? Weird find!

Looks like the ring that holds the pan on a vegetable scale from a grocery, minus the part going up to the scale..

Best part is she does the perfect Halloween cat pose when she gets spooked.

And upon further looking, if not bait bucket, possible maple sap bucket? But most probably bait bucket

Thought so. Neat old find. You can probably use it for something else too, I know I could.
