It certainly looks very like all the Maltese lace that I have seen plus
the design is very like a  piece of black Maltese that my sister has,she
bought it in a flea market for just a couple of pounds very dirty and
just laid in a heap, we took it with us when we went to Gozo and the
woman in the lace museum in Victoria/Gozo told her that it was a pre
second world war piece of Maltese lace that was worn over their hats and
just hung down in front of them on either side.  She said it was part of
Maltese heritage and should remain in Malta and was upset when she
offered my sister 100 Maltese pounds for it and my sister declined.  The
cross is very often part of Maltese lace design

Happy lacing
