It looks to me like a Brazilian setup, but I've never actually seen one. We had a visitor from Brazil who told me about a bobbin lace region in eastern Brazil (a little south of the Amazon, I think). She said they used bobbins with nuts on the ends, and I think she said it was a "fat" pillow. The primitive materials of the pillow, stand, and pricking would agree with that.
