Yes it does say 'figura'. The left hand caption says 'figura capitelli 
secundum
expositores catholicos', 'picture of the knob according to the Catholic
interpreters' and the right hand caption says 'figura capitelli secundum 
Rabbi
Salomonem', 'picture of the knob according to Rabbi Solomon'. It refers to
some object described in the Bible. I have come across this before but I 
can't
remember where.
