Copies of tapestry (4)
I believe the answer is:
apes
'copies' is the definition.
('ape' can be a synonym of 'copy')
'of tapestry' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'APES' can be found hidden inside 'tapestry'.
(Other definitions for apes that I've seen before include "Copies the primates?" , "Zoo animals" , "Peas (anag)" , "Species of primate" , "Imitates like primates" .)
