Bones in bag next to top drawer? (5)
I believe the answer is:
sacra
'bones' is the definition.
(sacrum is a kind of bone)
'bag next to top drawer?' is the wordplay.
'bag' becomes 'sac' (a small bag).
'next to' says to put letters next to each other.
'top drawer?' becomes 'RA' (a Royal Academician might be very good at drawing).
'sac'+'ra'='SACRA'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sacra that I've seen before include "Triangular bones" , "Bones that form the human pelvic arch" .)
