Hi Roy,
Not a clue as to origin, but maybe it is, as has been suggested above, a cage for insects. The Chinese kept crickets in little cages....maybe this is a similar idea from wherever it originates?

Thanks gents

We'll leave it as a cage for Large Fireflies unless something else turns up.

Bird catcher/cage? Dayaks (if it is Borneo) did collect feathers, right?
