Guessing Game

So my roommate got the following in her christmas package. The person who sent it to her had gotten it at a fair in New York at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection booth. We have NO IDEA what it is. Okay in fairness, we have one idea what it is (a pen holder?) but it seems kind of weird that it would be foldable and that they would expect it to hold pens horizontally which obviously takes up more desk space. So what do you think it is?
