Sector E plate Illustration:

The center figure, a nude male with short, curly hair and visible genitals, stands facing forward in contrapposto. He is presumably Los, identified by the large hammer that he holds in his right hand and large tongs in his left. Left of Los, facing away from the viewer, a short-haired nude male(?) hovers, holding the globe of the sun on his left shoulder. He may be Los's spectre. On the right a nude female, her hair pulled back, stands in contrapposto. She may be Enitharmon, Los's emanation. Her body, considerably darker than the bodies of the two males, is turned away from the viewer as she faces left, looking either at her work in her left hand or at one or both figures to her left. Raising her arms at 135 degrees, she holds a distaff or a spindle in her left hand. From it to her right hand hangs a thick thread, colored in a way that suggests the "fibres" of generation. The single thread multiplies into several similarly colored lines that extend down to a crescent moon at the level of her waist. At the moon the threads multiply again as they extend from the moon down to the earth below. Behind the figures, a serpentine line of trilithons winds, like a long wall, across a grassy landscape dominated by a single hill in the center. The line of trilithons, which may represent one of the "Serpent Temples" mentioned on plate 80, line 49, forms a larger circle on the central hilltop and smaller loops approximating circles at each end. The background is a dark sky, partly lit by sunlight on the left and by stars and moon on the right.

Component (Sector AC)

Keywords: male, nude, short hair, facing away, hovering, holding, leg bent at knee, legs together, arm bent upward, holding, spectre, climbing, striding, tiptoe, rising At left, facing away from the viewer, a short-haired nude male(?) hovers, his legs together and his right leg slightly bent. His left arm is raised to support the globe of the sun, with bright beams, on his left shoulder. The figure may be Los's spectre.

Component (Sector E)

Keywords: Los, blacksmith, male, nude, short hair, curly hair, genitals, standing, right foot, contrapposto, holding, arms raised at 45 degrees, leaning, facing forward, tiptoe The center figure, a nude male with short, curly hair and visible genitals, stands facing forward in contrapposto, his weight forward on his right foot, his left heel raised. He is presumably Los, identified by the large hammer that he holds in his right hand and large tongs that he holds in his left. His body leans right toward the tongs.

Component (Sector BD)

Keywords: female, Enitharmon, emanation, nude, bun, dark, right foot, standing, contrapposto, tiptoe, arms raised at 135 degrees, holding, spinning, leaning, looking, palms up, facing left, facing away Beside a crescent moon on the right, a nude female, her hair pulled back, stands in contrapposto with her weight forward on her right foot, her left heel raised. She may be Enitharmon, Los's emanation. Her body, considerably darker than the bodies of the two males, is turned away from the viewer as she faces and leans left, looking either at her work in her left hand or at one or both figures to her left. Raising her arms at 135 degrees, she holds a distaff (or a spindle) in her left hand, while her right hand supports a thick thread that extends from the distaff. She is probably spinning the "fibres" of generation.

Component (Sector CD)

Keywords: grass, tree, hill, dark, darkness The hilly landscape is covered with grass and, possibly, trees, suggested by lines and washes on the hillside between Los and Enitharmon.

Component (Sector E)

Keywords: hammer, tongs Los holds a large hammer in his right hand and large tongs in his left. Both tools rest on the ground near his feet.

Component (Sector A)

Keywords: sun, beams of light, globe, light In the upper left corner is the globe of the sun held on the shoulder of a nude figure who may be Los's spectre. The sun emits distinct rays—not only immediately around the globe but also left and right of the figure's legs—and sheds a bright light.

Component (Sector E)

Keywords: star, sky, night, dark, darkness, hill In a sky that is mostly dark, there are nine stars in the area around the arms and torso of the nude female figure. The landscape below is dominated by a single hill that crests in the center.

Component (Sector BD)

Keywords: moon, crescent, boat, ark, distaff, spindle, thread, fibres, blood, light, line A nude female holds a distaff or spindle in her left hand. From the spindle to her right hand hangs a thick thread, colored in a way that suggests the bloody "fibres" of generation. The single thread multiplies into several similarly colored lines that extend down to a crescent moon at the level of her waist. The moon is positioned with the ends of the crescent pointing upwards, recalling the moon-arks of previous designs, such as those on plates 18, 20, and 24. At the moon the threads multiply again as they extend from the moon down to the earth below. Both above and below the moon, the moonlight blends with the fibres.
