That's a great ID. Tripod base. Maybe for a camera.looks like the part of a tripod for survey instruments.. the part on the bottom is to attach a plumb line for mark the point on the ground, the screw is where the plate rotate to measure azimuth angle...
The school of mines that I attend here in Italy was founded in the 1849 saw a lot of that tripods in the museum. maybe the legs was of wood.

This one is mostly wood but you can see how the legs attach and the brass tightening key in the center. 1899.
