And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.
Each bronze stand had four bronze wheels and bronze plates. The four corners had supports underneath, and these supports were cast as part of the structure, positioned at the side of each decorative panel to hold up the basin.
