Monday Mystery, round metal thing

 Displayed at a local antique market, this intriguingly shaped thing wasn't identified. It's all metal and about 3 feet in diameter. My overactive mind pictures it as the outlet portion of a jet engine but what is it really? Ideas?

  1. It reminds me of the diffuser designed to distribute grain evenly when filling a grain bin but iut seems too intricate for that. Maybe it's an extruder for REALLY big pasta.

  2. google says you're correct; that it's a jet/gas turbine engine exhaust diffuser.

  3. It's quite the sculptural piece isn't it? Someone must have a spent a lot of time cleaning it. Unless it's NOS?
