A reminder about the figures (5)
I believe the answer is:
relic
'a reminder' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'about the figures' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'about' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for relic that I've seen before include "Memorial object" , "One may venerate this" , "church treasure" , "Trace" , "Ancient survival" .)
