"The sagas suggest that the shield might be used two handed to defend against a powerful attack. In chapter 55 of Laxdæla saga, Bolli saw Helgi prepare for a thrust with his spear. Bolli dropped his sword to hold the shield with both hands. This trick did not stop Helgi's spear from penetrating the shield and wounding Bolli." -Hurstwic Viking Combat Shield Poses Drawing, Shield Pose Reference Drawing, Holding Shield Pose Reference, Shield Pose Reference, Shield Poses, Holding Spear Pose Reference, Shield Pose, Shield Drawing, Life Drawing Pose
