It is a puzzle for sure with those pegs sticking up in the front and bottom sides. The pegs don't seem close enough to be for weaving on it but, it is obvious that it is for some sort of hand work. I am thinking maybe the hoop interchanges out with the frame that is in the frame now or that it fits into the open slots.
The pegs could be for your yarns if it was for crewel embroidery or counted cross stitching. But why would there be some on the bottom? A real puzzle, for sure.
