It is a spanish "mundillo", a pillow based on the french pillows, not used by professional lacemakers, but by ladies who made lace for their dowry or the church.

The very top is a pincushion, lace is made on the roller (here, there is not even a pricking underneath) and the bobbins are supported by the padded square underneath. There are several different types of mundillos - in this one, the finished lace falls into the box, some have drawers in the back for the lace and a drawer in front for extra thread, pins, bobbins etc. This one is very simple compared to most, and most probably homemade.
