Falling Flux Debris and Downward Pointing Figures
Falling flux debris. Image A's debris falling from the tower, please notice the variety of shapes, and those are also found on image B and image C.
Images D and E show very typical representations of flux inside flux tubes, and I hope you can let those flower spiralling vortices be equated to the balls inside the long sleeve of image E. Those same balls you can find floating feely on A,B and C, and within tubes and columns, particularly on image C.
Image C is the battle of Nuremburg, to me it's a satirical "story" to amuse an audience that knew symbolism better than us today. I think we are seeing debris from when flux tubes break and their contents spill out, adding to the aether.
Downward pointing people (who may be falling) is a common way in symbolism to show a downward flow direction. Downward flow is usually considered more divine, higher-density than what flows upward. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/upside-down/
