Peasant uprising caught on old wall-painting (6)
I believe the answer is:
fresco
'wall-painting' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'peasant uprising caught on old' is the wordplay.
'peasant' becomes 'serf' (I've seen this in another clue).
'uprising' says the letters should be written backwards.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'on old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
'serf' in reverse letter order is 'fres'.
'fres'+'c'+'o'='FRESCO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fresco that I've seen before include "Mural painted on wet plaster" , "Mode of wall painting" , "Method of painting on walls" , "Work of art" , "Forces (anag) - wall painting" .)
