Give second makeover to small church decoration? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reredos

'church decoration?' is the definition.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for reredos that I've seen before include "Red rose could show a screen behind the altar" , "Fireback" , "Hanging in church" , "Back of fireplace" , "Painted screen behind an altar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
