Testing a thin shield against an ango

Testing a hypothetical all-organic-materials Finnish shield inspired by the Tira bog shield in Latvia, dated to middle Viking Age 875 CE, against a Finnish ango from the Merovingian period (550–800 CE). This shield and ango are really not from the same time, but similar shields might have been used already in the period when angos were used. And in any case this test was made for testing the durability of a thin shield.
