I do not know what this is. Your photos are a little poor. From what I can see this looks very much like it is from the Sahel or the southern Sahara which covers many modern nations. What you have looks as if it is late 19th early 20 century. I wonder whether it is a purse, or black powder container. better pictures would help. I am sure there are others here that will be able to tell you what they are.
