The 'checker-work' and 'chain-work' describe an intricate, beautiful network covering the capitals, possibly like a fine lattice with festive wreaths. However, most scholars note that the phrase 'seven for the one capital' is likely a textual error. The original reading, supported by ancient translations, was probably 'a net for the one capital, and a net for the other capital,' emphasizing the singular, elaborate covering on each pillar.
