Figure there's no time for law (6)
I believe the answer is:
statue
'figure' is the definition.
(statue is a kind of figure)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for statue that I've seen before include "Life sculpture" , "Modelled figure of a human or animal" , "Solid representation of the human form" , "As created by 3dn" , "Figure, effigy" .)
