Sculpture from university in Iowa? (6)
I believe the answer is:
statue
'sculpture' is the definition.
(statue is a kind of sculpture)
'university in iowa?' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'u'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'iowa?' becomes 'state' (iowa is a kind of state).
'u' placed inside 'state' is 'STATUE'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for statue that I've seen before include "Sculpture representing a human or animal" , "Monument" , "Stiff sort of personality" , "Solid carved or cast image" , "See figure" .)
