How were the "Sevachah v'Rimonim" on the crown?

1.

Rashi: The crowns were like two bowls. The bottom one faces up (like normal); the top one is inverted and covers it; it is called Sevachah. Pomegranates are inserted in chains. The two ends of the chain are tied together on top of the Sevachah, where it is narrow. [The chain] descends to where the Sevachah sticks [to the bottom bowl], where the crown is widest. The pomegranates cover where the mouths of the bowls are stuck together.
