Black storage compartment holding sculpture and picture (11)
I believe the answer is:
blockbuster
'picture' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'black storage compartment holding sculpture' is the wordplay.
'black' becomes 'b' (abbreviation as in pencil hardness).
'storage compartment' becomes 'locker' (I've seen this before).
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'sculpture' becomes 'bust' (bust is a kind of sculpture).
'locker' enclosing 'bust' is 'lockbuster'.
'b'+'lockbuster'='BLOCKBUSTER'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blockbuster that I've seen before include "best seller?" , "Large and forceful film, person etc" , "Commercial success" , "Film or book making huge profits" , "Smash hit" .)
