Pedestal for a statue (6)
I believe the answer is:
plinth
'pedestal for a statue' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for plinth that I've seen before include "Heavy base of a statue" , "Block forming base of column or statue" , "Statue's base" , "Support for statue or column" , "Architectural support or base" .)
