There are two schools of thought on that, neither of which have been
conclusively proven.
1.  The stained glass panes were cast flat and then have pooled towards
the
bottom over time.
2.  The glass panes were cast with thicker bottoms to help support the
weight.

There is evidence to support both hypothesis, and it may be that both
are
true.
