Is this a cast for balteus plaques?

I don't think so Luca. If it were, then all the decoration would be raised and not 'stamped' into the plates as we normally see in this type of belt plate.

What context is it from? Could it be used in the kitchen? Making cakes/cookies??

you are correct Adrian.

Unfortunately in the museum there were no explication or any kind of comments, so I don't know. They just amaxed me because the layout is very similar to some common balteus. plaques.
