Tearjerking art on show, going round holding hanky (4-3)
I believe the answer is:
snot-rag
'hanky' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'tearjerking art on show going round holding' is the wordplay.
'holding' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'going round' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'gartons' is hidden in the letters of 'tearjerking art on show'.
'gartons' backwards is 'SNOT RAG'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
