Looks like the bottom turn gate or plug to an old piggy bank. If you will notice the little notch that helped secure it in place.

Clock pendulum-weight. Yours is probably from sometime in the 1800s. The rectangular hole going all the way through the larger raised rectangle on the back is how the weight was mounted on the pendulum shaft's end.
