Bit of body on a pedestal displayed (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nape

'bit of body' is the definition.
('nape' is part of 'body')

'on a pedestal displayed' is the wordplay.
'displayed' indicates a hidden word (the answer is displayed within the clue).
'NAPE' is hidden in the letters of 'on a pedestal'.

(Other definitions for nape that I've seen before include "Scrag" , "Back part of the neck" , "sofa" , "It's a pane in the neck" , "Here's a hairline" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
