A Question

Just out of curiosity, is there a literary term for an author's use of
an image or drawing within a written text, like Pynchon's use of the
post horn in CoL49 or the pointing finger in GR?  I know other authors
make use of this device, like Sterne and Tolkien, but I wonder if
there's a specific lit term for it.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.
