Base [1]

is the lower part of a pillar, wall, etc.; the division of a column on which the shaft is placed. The Grecian Doric order has no base; but the other classical orders have each their appropriate bases, which are divided into plinth and mouldings, though in some examples the former of these divisions is omitted.
