What does Ven. Nyanamoli mean by 'image'?

What does Ven. Nyanamoli mean by 'image'?

For example, in this video (but also in many others) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECd5VXeSRdI, Bhante makes use of the concept of an 'image'.

In another video I believe he is using it as a translation of the word 'dhamma', but in various comments throughout people ask for clarification of this term (without response). I haven't been able to find a video where he explains in detail his use of this term but, since he uses it quite often, it seems important.

I am fairly familiar with Bhante's terminology and use of phenomenology, so feel free to assume some knowledge on my part. So, could someone please provide some insight into this word, and its relevance to practice?

Thank you.
