'oriental art' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'fiddle old parisian buddy conceals' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'fiddle' could be 'rig' (I've seen this before) and 'rig' is located in the answer.
'old' could be 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'buddy' could be 'ami' (I've seen this before) and 'ami' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
