Nope. Got me beat. I think it looks like spider legs poking through a gap in a metal box. For some reason the spider only wants to put out two legs, and thus obviously there are two spiders sitting in the box, side by side.

HiSara, I can’t guess what it is. I’ll ask my husband. He should know he’s been farming for years. It looks a bit like a giant spider starting to crawl over the edge! (only joking} Trisha

Hello Sara
I believe that these are some kind of tines for moving straw along, but after that I am lost. we had similar tines on tedding machines, but would be pleased if you would send me a clue.

I agree with ‘Farmer gies’ above - it looks like the tines on a tedding machine / haybob …but the solid blue-green background is confusing me.

Those look like the tines on my husbands hay rake. He just bought a bunch of replacements this year and changed out all the old broken ones. The rake is probably as old as he is!
