Canadian? Bobbin lace

5.5" without tape x 104", done in a circle.
Very good condition - starched.

This is obviously a religious piece, but the origin is unclear. It came from a seller who purchased it in Canada, so might be a product of the convent lace community in Quebec. This needs a lot of research. It could also be a Bruges piece. It has a woven band bordering the top and bottom of the length.
The plants appear to be corn, with the round inserts Christian imagery.
