Pedestal occupant (4)
I believe the answer is:
idol
'pedestal occupant' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for idol that I've seen before include "Blue-eyed boy" , "Admired figure" , "As before, fake" , "Pagan symbol" , "A graven image or object of adoration" .)
