Huge Decorative Red Foundry Mold for Machine Bearing Cap

An impressive partial mold for a large machine bearing from a British foundry. The large circular pattern might work as a mantle for a round-top door or window. Typically made of a wood base with certain elements attached and a smoothed finish applied with a filler. Has the reference number 105A4209 1B on the face. This industrial former has a real sculptural quality that would look fabulous illuminated to emphasise the curves and recesses. Sold as a decorative piece only. Possibly from a steam or ship's engine?
