The thin vertical filaments making up the quiescent prominence plasma, as revealed by fine spatial resolution H-alpha photographs, are characterized by a magnetostatic theory in which a horizontal row of long vertical filaments whose weights are supported by bowed magnetic field lines is described by a class of exact equilibrium solutions. The Kippenhahn-Schlueter (1957) solution for a long sheet without filamentary structures is a member of this class of solutions. In illustrating the role of the magnetic field in supporting and thermally shielding the filament plasma, it is found that the filament can have a sharp transition perpendicular to the local field, while the transition in the direction of the local field is diffuse. A consequence of the filamentary structure is that its support by the Lorentz force requires the electric current to have a component along the magnetic field.
