Fiziksel açıklama
Fillet or headrest. The body is a rounded, crescent-shaped black-brown leather pad with tapering ends, stuffed with fine golden-brown hair wrapped in a finely-woven linen. The leather is particularly watermarked and blackened at one end, and broken between the central and left crosses, to reveal the linen beneath. The surface of the leather is pierced with three medalions of openwork decoration, each representing a cross pattée within a circle, surrounded by a border of eyelets, showing gilt leather underneath. The tips of the fillet are decorated with a large openworked triangle, with smaller long triangles and a circle above it.
