Its a 12

Looks like the underside? of an old black powder barrel with proof marks.

The 12? may designate the bore?  Can't see enough of the barrel to be sure.
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.
