Artistic piecework (6)
I believe the answer is:
mosaic
'artistic piecework' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mosaic that I've seen before include "Tessellated design" , "Decorative work of small hard pieces" , "from one of the prophets" , "Pattern of small stones" , "Inlaid work - of a Hebrew prophet" .)
