There is a hole in the centre of the tondo, which is filled with a white material harder than plaster (crystalline quartz according to an X-ray diffraction analysis), and a cylindrical hole in the filling material (fig. 18. c). The remains of aged glue are visible on the fracture of the tondo. The white filling material being too hard, it was not safe to remove it. Therefore the examination of the hole in the tondo cannot be defined at this moment. The hole is approximately 2 mm in diameter.
