- Pate - The pate in a doll is a rounded piece of either cork or papier mache that covers the wig aperture of a doll, (the opening in the crown of the doll) and provides the base to which the wig can be attached.
- Incised - A record of a name, date or inscription, or a decoration scratched into a surface, usually of a glass or ceramic item with a blunt instrument to make a coarse indentation. Compare with engraving where the surface is cut with a sharp instrument such as a metal needle or rotating tool to achieve a fine indentation.
