Looks like a cut, dimpled hollow sphere to me.

Hmm..this might work....

Make a Sphere and use the following numbers:

* Size (x,y,z): .266/1.00/1.00
* Rotation(x,y,z): 90.00/45.00/270.00
* Path cut: b=0.00 e=0.200
* Hollow:95
* Dimple: b=0.75, e=1.00

Then look at it straight on with the point facing you/your point of view.

If the shape has 4 sides it's gonna be more difficult.

If you don't mind slightly blurry edges, you can try some alpha channel textures on a sphere, then filling in the sides with other prims. I used it to make an english telephone booth once. Which looks like the same kind of shape on the top.
