plinth

a heavy base supporting a statue or vase


I had never heard of this word until I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I’m not going to give anything away, in case there is someone out there who wants to read the book but hasn’t yet. All I’ll say is that a lot of statues are knocked off their plinths.
