We present examples from a rich family of magnetostatic solutions describing sheets of vertical filamentary plasmas suspended in a bow-shaped magnetic field. These solutions are characterized with the realism of uneven loadings of mass on the field lines which produces a sheared field topology associated with a coupling between the field-aligned and cross-field current densities. These analytical models are useful for forward calculations of prominence emission and absorption, as well as the polarimetric signatures of prominence magnetic fields.
