Answers.Text: Great find! My searches for "minifigure headdress" yielded less useful results. I've put in a link to the image that's on their website, but that link may go bad, so I'll save a copy locally just in case. I would prefer a BrickTW image directly, but haven't found that either.

Body: <p>Recently found this minifig headdress in a bag with mixed LEGO and analogs. Not sure if it belongs to LEGO, but quality is great and it perfectly fits minifigure head. The sets in bag was belong to periods from 1994 to 2000 and from 2011 to 2017.</p>

Comments.Text: I don't have any of clone-brands pieces from that bag left (only LEGO's and the ones I'm not sure about, like that one). I remember, there was a classic pirate clone set, something like western themed set and a lot of modern warfare sets (few tank's and truck, I guess). Plastic quality is very good, I would say it's LEGO quality or very close to it. There is one seam at the back of the headpiece, I added photo to OP.

  This looks to be a custom creation by [BrickTW](http://thebrickblogger.com/2011/04/lego-customizer-bricktw-overview/). They are apparently no longer in operation though (closed down early 2020).
  
  Found through google image search with keywords "lego compatible headdress". This search turned up this element sold under the name ["BrickTW - Nanman Priests Headdress" at Firestarter Toys](https://www.firestartoys.com/products/bricktw---nanman-priest-headdress---light-blueish-gray.html) (albeit not available in black).
