No idea. Anyone know what this is?

In the public gardens of Nuevos Ministerios. Near the Ministry of Transport and Public Works. There must be a clue in that!
After several comments ... Now I see it! It must have been used to break up old road surfaces prior to the laying of new roads. So anywhere between about 1920 and perhaps 1960. Hard to tell!

Yes it does look like it was used to break up some sort of structure. If it was earth etc, then they would be pointy.

In the United States, it is called a sheepsfoot. It is used to compact soil before pavement is added on top of the soil.
