In cima al carrello cera un sostegno rotondo e alto mezzo cubito; e in cima al carrello, le sue cornici e i suoi pannelli erano un tuttuno con esso.
Ed in cima di ciascun basamento vi era un mezzo cubito di altezza, tondo d’intorno; ed in cima del basamento vi erano i suoi spazii ed aiuole, di uno stesso pezzo col basamento.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high,.... The same with the chapiter, 1 Kings 7:31 which rose up straight half a cubit, and widening upwards half a cubit more, here called the round compass of it:
and on the top of the base, the ledges thereof and the borders thereof, were of the same; of the same piece of brass with the base, all being cast together.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A round compass - A circular elevation, half a cubit high, rather than a circular depression, half a cubit deep. Compare 1 Kings 7:29. The “ledges” and “borders” of the top of the base were its “hands” and its “panels.” These “hands,” distinct from the “shoulders” 1 Kings 7:30, were probably supports, adorned with engraved plates 1 Kings 7:36, either of the elevated circle on which the laver stood, or of the lower part of the laver itself. Both panels and “hands” were “of the same,” i. e. of one piece with the base, cast at the same time.
