Now--I am going to put my memory to a test here.......Memory of things I learned when young......This device, kind of, justifies my memory of how the young maidens thrashed the sheaths of wheat--or linen--or whatever.......

They would hold arm-fulls of the sheaths of the grain and beat them through these spikes to separate the grain from the chafe. I remember from learning about Folk Songs, how they sang them to keep the rhythm going......

NOT sure--but I can imagine this being used that way.
