Each stand had four handles, one on each corner, projecting from the stand.
Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and each had a basin resting on four supports, cast with wreaths on each side.
The wheels were made like chariot wheels; the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all of cast metal.
At the top of the stand there was a circular band half a cubit deep. The supports and panels were attached to the top of the stand.
