An annulet is a small square component in the Doric capital, under the quarter-round. It is also called a fillet or listel, although Template:Linktext and Template:Linktext are also more general terms for a narrow band or strip,[1] such as the ridge between flutes.

An annulet is also a narrow flat architectural moulding, common in other parts of a column, viz. the bases, as well as the capital. It is so called, because it encompasses the column round.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In this sense, annulet is frequently used for baguette or little astragal.
