Adorn sculpture of stone (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

festoon

'adorn' is the definition.
(I know that festoon is a more specific form of adorn)

'sculpture of stone' is the wordplay.
'sculpture' indicates an anagram.
'of'+'stone'='ofstone'
'ofstone' anagrammed gives 'FESTOON'.

(Other definitions for festoon that I've seen before include "swag" , "Decorate with strings of flowers or fabric say" , "Garland with flowers" , "Ornamental garland" , "Ornamental chain/garland" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
