family crest, figures
紋 centers on a decorative pattern or design, especially one used as a family crest. The 'figures' sense refers to such patterned marks or motifs.
紋 combines 糸 (thread) and 文 (pattern, writing), suggesting a woven or embroidered design. This reflects the historical use of patterned textiles for family crests.
Thread 糸 and a pattern 文 come together: imagine weaving colored threads into a family crest on a kimono.
For モン, picture a monogrammed family crest on a handkerchief: monogram -> モン, and the crest is woven in thread.
