Hi. Have I used 'figures' correctly in: In most cases, the stick is jewelled, and figures are seen on it. Doesn't it need any determiners or something?

What's the difference between 'design' and 'pattern' in:

In most cases, the stick is jewelled, and designs are seen on it.

I was told to use a term other than 'figure'. the text is supposed to be related to 'art'

In art, "figures" without any other qualification usually relates to human forms.

A pattern can be a design that repeats over a surface area. It is common in tiles or wallpaper and also in Islamic art.
