✅ SOLVED Metal spiked item

[Blackfoot58]

This was found in a hole with several chunks of rotted leather harness strap. I’m guessing the cleats get driven into some wooden object. The 3 channels, on top, appear to be guides for something. Any help appreciated.

Could you take a picture of the complete object?

There’s not much else to see, that isn’t in those 2 pictures. What angle would help? I can definitely supply it.
Also, I found another one this morning with a clue to it. Will post it also. Thanks!

I found this one in the same area. It has one spike missing. The ring was wired to it when found. Evidently it was with a harness rigging and trace rings, etc hung from them. The wire solution made me laugh. How many generations of farmers resorted to the wire repair method?

Found 3 more this morning in buried harness dump. These show more as to how they were used. Definitely harness rigging item. Thanks
