I believe the answer is:

object lesson

(Other definitions for object lesson that I've seen before include "punishment intended as a warning to others?" , "Instructive experience" , "What may be striking" , "Example typifying a principle" , "shows what one should do" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
