It almost looks like there could have been something inside the "basket".  Could the incomplete area at the top have been some sort of loop that wore away from use over the years?

Post-Roman horse hanger I think.  I forget the culture - Magyar, Slavic, Turkic - I will let you know when I can find the reference.
