Various books on British Viking sites show a picture of a tiny bone tool
with two "horns" - easy to recognize as a lucet. The picture is fairly
common. Other photos or documentation I've not been able to find (except
for two sweet-bags dated 1600-1650 and 1610 that have lucetted cord to
close them, and which are, go figure, no longer on display because they're
being restored....)

   Not much help, but that's all I've got.
