Maybe a gate pull handle or some sort of tie down ring?

It looks like a nose ring for a bull, or a nose ring for one really big bad dude

I put it on what is it, they think it's a drawer puller. A drawer handle.

definatly horse tackle. You can see the wear from the leather straps on the top, how thin it is compared to the sides. The small part was where the hinge was.
