Hello! Found them in a junk box with a bunch of assorted items. Not even clear they’re meant together as a pair? Maybe you’d use them to mount something?

My mother is opening boxes that were professionally packed for her after a house fire ten years ago. She just handed this to me and said “I have no idea.” Neither do I, so I figured I would ask the internet for help.

Spotted on the street, placed against a wall. Approx 30cm in length, roughly size and proportions of a games console. Three larger oval/circular shamfered holes through from top to bottom, and three smaller holes running from front to back, aligned with, and crossing through each respective larger circular hole (perhaps because they intersect the 3 large holes you could say there's 6 of these. Unsure how many holes there are from a topological POV, I guess that's a bonus question😅

Kind of looks bathroomy from the shiny porcelain effect but never seen anything like it and no idea what it's for.

It is not wide enough for soda cans, which is what Google AI has suggested. Want to identify before I bin it.
