| The simplest way of making a socle is to take a loaf of stale bread, remove the crust, and cut the crumb to the desired shape. |
| This will be a socle, and should be about one and a half to two inches high. |
| Two finely carved pyramids arose gloriously at the two extremes of the socle, which they confronted. |
| The drawing in brown upon the socle beneath this fresco, is by Pierino del Vaga, and represents the death of Archimedes. |
| In the center Buddha is teatching to his first diciples, of a size two times bigger than others, dressed of a orange robe and sat in lotus position on a socle representing a lotus flower. |
| In the centre is placed a socle or pedestal of a glittering substance, like glass, but of what composition is not known. |
