Antique Pith Helmet 1900s Painted White, No Inner Liner

A antique pith helmet unsure of its age, could be from anytime in the 1900s possibly 1940s upwards?. As seen by the photos it’s missing the top and has clearly been painted white at somepoint in the past (could have been for ceremonial purposes?) has no inner as seen by the photos also. It has the name “Roland” inscribed inside possibly put there by the original owner?. Feel free to message me with any further questions/inquiries :)
