There were images of bulls under the lip of the large bronze tank.[d] They were in two rows that went 10 cubits around the tank. The bulls were molded in place when the tank was shaped. The large bronze tank was on top of twelve large statues of bulls. Three bulls looked toward the north. Three bulls looked toward the west. Three bulls looked toward the south. Three bulls looked toward the east. The large bronze tank was on top of these bulls. All the bulls stood with their rear ends to each other and to the center.
