Character flaw, metaphorically (4,2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

feet of clay

(Other definitions for feet of clay that I've seen before include "Hidden character faults" , "Hidden defects" , "Fatal flaw in an otherwise admirable character" , "Weak point" , "Unexpected flaw in someone revered" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
