One person wrote the seller to say it's a Slovenian pillow. I wrote to say it's a Maltese pillow. Maltese pillows are usually covered in brown paper, not fabric, but they are stuffed with parallel reeds or straw and they are very long like this one.
While the bobbins aren't traditional, the seller says there's one with red on it--I have several Maltese bobbins whose heads are mended with hard red wax (like sealing wax). Robin P.
