Figures & data
Figure 1. A Zodiac Man. The chart purports to show how different planets, each with its own climactic/humoral admixture, affect different parts of the human body (listed A to V in the four corners). Note that the man stands atop a tilted globe, his feet situated in particular coordinates, thereby connecting at least four of the five spheres discussed above: the internal and external body, the world region and the cosmos.

Figure 2. The Kutná Hora silver mines and metallurgical works. Tempera, parchment, 643 mm (height) x 442 mm (width). The image conveys the dynamism of the Central Bohemian site, straddling under- and over-ground activities, and the variety of tools and contraptions for extracting, sifting and manipulating excavated matter. Note the range of people of different statuses occupying the site, including women, men and children, and their protective work apparel. Unknown painter, fifteenth century.
