The four braces reached the four corners of each stand, and formed part of the stand.
Each stand had four bronze wheels and bronze axles. The four legs of each stand had cast braces, which were under the basin; they had wreaths on each side.
The wheels were constructed like chariot wheels; their axletrees, rims, spokes, and hubs were all cast.
At the top of the stand there was a raised collar half a cubit high, and the handles and panels on top of the stand formed part of it.
