Greek characters welded Michelangelo work (5)
I believe the answer is:
pieta
'michelangelo work' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pieta that I've seen before include "Statue of Mary with body of Jesus" , "religious work of art" , "Sculpture of Mary grieving over body of Jesus" , "Mary-with-Christ sculpture" , "Mary's portrait" .)
