Sorry, not Tafel 29 (Plate 29), but Figure 29 (Abb. 29), item b -- p. 119
of the PDF. And Levey's quote below refers to bobbin lace, which I've not
found an example of. The items I'm identifying as lace are needlelace.

I think Levey might have overlooked something. The German text specifically
says that Tafel 29, item b, was done without a ground fabric.

Another interesting find is looping that looks like needle lace in the
prehistoric American Southwest. The article found here:
https://www.archaeologysouthwest.org/pdf/pecos2008_webster.pdf has a
diagram on page 13 which could well be found in a needle lace book and
photos of bags on p. 14 in this
Very interesting pictures. While dreaming of Viking needlelace, don't forget
nalbinding, which is the Viking version of knitting, done with a needle and
thread. As presently constituted at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, at
least, it replaces knitting, but could conceivably be more lace
