It looks like one of those little caps (skull cap) that male chinamen used to wear......or maybe it's some kind of baby hat? Cool, anyways!

It might be Chinese but it looks similar to hats I've seen worn by native Uzbeks or Turkmens, in central Asia, former Soviet Union.

Just tidying up some blasts from the past (including some very ancient ones), largely for the benefit of anyone searching the site for information.

That’s a Tajik skull cap and likely not older than vintge. Tajiks are a Persian-speaking Iranian ethnic group native to Central Asia, living primarily in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

From “Tajik Hats” by Iraj Bashiri, adapted from “The Album of Tajik Costumes” by Gremyachinskaya, et al., 1969.

“Embroidered skull caps (tyubeteikas) have always been popular among the Tajiks. During the Soviet years, they became even more popular and were manufactured by numerous artels as well as by individual needleworkers. The tyubeteikas for brides and bridegrooms are especially beautiful. Many Tajiks continue to wear their traditional tyubeteikas with the rest of their western-style wardrobe.”
