Deprived of stone, created statue without head (7)
I believe the answer is:
starved
'deprived' is the definition.
(starving is a kind of depriving)
'stone created statue without head' is the wordplay.
'stone' becomes 'st'.
'created statue' becomes 'carved' (as in carving a statue).
'without head' means to remove the first letter.
'carved' with its first letter removed is 'arved'.
'st'+'arved'='STARVED'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for starved that I've seen before include "Denied" , "Went without food" , "really hungry" .)
