ANNULETS

, in Architecture, are small square members, in the Doric capital, placed under the quarter round.

Annulet is also used for a narrow flat moulding, common to other parts of a column, as well as to the capital; and so called, because it encompasses the column | around. In which sense annulet is frequently used for baguette, or little astragal.
