Need ID On Woven Helmet

Boy, it's been a while since I posted here. I just won this thing, so these are the only pictures I have. Looks to be woven from some pretty thick rattan, or whatever. So, I think helmet, not hat. You can see, where the chinstrap/suspension was attached. Whatizzit? Was supposedly brought back from the Pacific, by a British soldier. I've seen old photos of warriors/soldiers wearing similar helmets. But can't remember from where. Southeast Asia? Any info, much appreciated.
