Statuette incorporates fruit and water (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

figurine

'statuette' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'fruit and water' is the wordplay.
'fruit' becomes 'fig' (fig is a kind of fruit).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'water' becomes 'urine' (synonyms).
'fig'+'urine'='FIGURINE'

'incorporates' is the link.

(Other definitions for figurine that I've seen before include "Statuette" , "Small piece of sculpture" , "Fine rug I change for a small carved body" , "moulded object" , "Small statue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
