    Basket is very flexible and seems to want to collapse on itself. Measures 9 inches by 4.5 inches.

    Not sure about this one. It appears to be made of raffia palm fiber, which would explain the softness, and probably African. Rather than being a basket, it may be a "kufi/kufiya", the traditional skull cap worn by Muslim men.

    I guess it is a basket, then. (or you have a tiny head. ;))
