Medieval silver annular brooch, found at Pitt, Hursley, Hampshire. Rectangular in section, with a restriction to hold the pin-head. Engraved on one side with the Lombardic inscription "+ VOLO [:] DARI" and on the other with "+NOLO : DARI. This may be interpreted as "I wish to give myself, I do not wish to give myself" and may be interpreted as amatory in meaning. The pin has a collar of granulations where it meets the pin-head. The brooch probably dates to the 13th or early 14th century. The brooch is slightly bent, and has suffered from some scratching to the surface.
