Context — The Ten Bronze Stands
27In addition, he made ten movable stands of bronze, each four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
28This was the design of the stands: They had side panels attached to uprights,
29and on the panels between the uprights were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the uprights was a pedestal above, and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of beveled work.
30Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles and a basin resting on four supports, with wreaths at each side. 31The opening to each stand inside the crown at the top was one cubit deep, with a round opening like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide. And around its opening were engravings, but the panels of the stands were square, not round.Cross References

1 Kings 7:29 Summary
[The verse describes the decorations on the bronze stands in the temple, including lions, oxen, and cherubim, which represent different aspects of God's character and kingdom. The wreaths of beveled work add a touch of beauty and craftsmanship, reminding us of the importance of excellence in our worship and service to God, as seen in Colossians 3:23-24. The pedestal above the uprights may have symbolized a connection between heaven and earth, highlighting the significance of our worship and service as a bridge between the two, as described in Hebrews 13:15-16. By studying this verse, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the beauty and significance of God's temple and our role in worshiping and serving Him.]

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Kings 7:29
And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges: No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 7:29
A base; so he calls the uppermost part of the base; for though it was above, yet it was a base to the laver, which stood upon it. Certain additions; either as bases for the feet of the said lions and oxen, or only as further ornaments.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 7:29
1 Kings 7:29 And on the borders that [were] between the ledges [were] lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges [there was] a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen [were] certain additions made of thin work. Ver. 29. See on 1 Kings 7:28.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 7:29
(13-50) The exceedingly graphic and elaborate description of the work of Hiram on the vessels and furniture of the Temple, and on the great pillars, bears on the very face of it the most evident marks of historical accuracy and of the use of contemporary documents, and it has, moreover, great antiquarian interest. Looked at in itself, it shows that the Temple (like many other buildings in the comparative infancy of architecture) depended for its effect, not so much on size or proportion, as on rich material, elaborate decoration, and costly furniture, on which all the resources both of treasure and art were lavished. But besides this, the sense of the especial sacredness attached to all the vessels of the Temple, which was hereafter to degenerate into a Pharisaic superstition (see Matthew 23:16-18), suggested the most careful record of every detail, and reverently traced to “the Spirit of God” the gift of “wisdom of heart” “to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,” as in Bezaleel and Aholiab for the Tabernacle (Exodus 35:31-32), so also in Hiram for the Temple. There is something especially remarkable in this broad comprehensiveness of conception which recognises the illuminating and inspiring power of the Spirit of God, not only in the moral and religious teaching of the prophet and the devotional utterances of the psalmist, but in the warlike enthusiasm of the Judge, the sagacity of the statesman, the imaginative skill of the artist, and the wisdom of the philosophic thinker. Nothing could more strikingly illustrate the Apostolic declaration: “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:4).
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 7:29
29. and upon the ledges there was a base above] The word here rendered ‘base’ differs from that in the two previous verses and so the R.V. has rendered a pedestal. It seems to denote some projection upward from the four shafts at the corners to act as a support for the lavers when they were put in position. certain additions made of thin work] These words signify rather ‘festoons, work that hung down.’ So R.V. wreaths of hanging work.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Kings 7:29
