After watching this video, I'm leaning towards its function for knitting. The fact that they weren't found in Italy could simply be that the weather wasn't cold enough to necessitate gloves; whereas, in Britain or other northern Roman outposts, it would have been more "handy".



As to 3D printed models, do you mean for home printing? Like this... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:762005

If not for knitting, my next option would be as a candle holder, with the different sized holes perfect for accommodating most sizes of candles.
