A small ring-shaped structure or a ring-like architectural element used in classical design.
From French 'annule,' derived from Latin 'annulus' (ring). The diminutive form suggests something small or refined, commonly used in heraldry and decorative arts.
In heraldry, an annule was a way to honor someone without giving them land—you'd grant them the right to wear a ring symbol on their coat of arms. It's like the medieval version of a digital badge!
