Why did the Germanics used pointy shieldbosses?

Hi,all.
I would like to add that a pyrimidal shape is stronger than the other,head-on. I saw a program on shields that tested early Saxon shields(round) and those a little later which were more conical and the later ones deflected arrows and other blows more effectively. Perhaps the same consideration was given in regards to bosses.
