Facial wear of novel character (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
iron mask
'facial wear' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'of novel character' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'character' could be 's' and 's' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
