Sculptor to bestow airbed I blew up? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

donatello

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sculptor' is the definition.
(I know that Donatello is a sculptor)

'bestow airbed i blew up?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'bestow' could be 'donate' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'donate' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for donatello that I've seen before include "Famous Florentine sculptor" , "Chipper" , "Old lean-to (anag) - sculptor" , "Italian sculptor" , "C 15 Florentine sculptor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
