<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">support for a statue</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for pedestal that I've seen before include "Base supporting a statue" , "Place for hero" , "Architectural support or base" , "Stand for statue or basin" , "Statue's support" .)
