What does the word “pointing” mean in this stage direction?

Answer 1

it means showing direction to

Answer 2

I am not sure in which context or chapter this question is referring to but usually, the word "pointing" means 'to show a direction'.

While we usually speak of 'pointing' to show a direction, place, person, etc., that means 'to show that particular' entity that is being spoken of in the subject.

The word is, at times, used to refer many other quantities that can be shared with people.

However, it should be checked out for the right option.
