Descriptive of stones or tablets? (6)
I believe the answer is:
mosaic
'descriptive' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mosaic that I've seen before include "Design of many small pieces" , "Design made of small pieces of coloured stone or glass" , "Decorative work of small hard pieces" , "Small square in pattern" , "from one of the prophets" .)
