A Steel Spring or Butterfly Bit with Tongue Plate

A hand forged steel spring or butterfly bit.
This has a long metal plate protruding from it - presumably to sit on the tongue ?
There is also a metal loop perpendicular to the plate which would probably put pressure on the roof of the mouth.
Thankfully it's difficult to imagine this in actual use

Dimensions 15.2cm (6") Wide, Tongue Plate is 14.1cm (5½") Long, Height 6cm (2¼")
Weight : 376g (13¼oz)
