What is this metal object?

NOT the key.......wiseguys.

Seems to be cast steel, weighty. Just found on the warehouse floor here in central Florida. All searches come up with items that are close, but not close enough. No threading inside. No packaging found.

Square is for a 1/2” breaker bar or ratchet. Tapered end goes into a tub drain or pipe

We thought about it going on to a ratchet wrench, but then, once installed on a drain or a pipe, you'd be left with a cap that has an open square at the end where the wrench went. So, this being something to stop water was ruled out pretty early. Is there another part missing? Due to the rough texture, I couldn't see how this could ever be water-tight.
