I haven’t seen one of these in a few days, so I thought I’d toss in one of my own.

It’s meant for via ferrata to reduce the impact of falling on static gear. You loop a short rope through the holes and it absorbs the forces of the fall by friction of the rope slipping through. This is the Kong Kisa.

    It’s an energy/impact/shock absorber used when climbing with ropes.

    A Kong Kisa?
