Unveils most of model after recasting statue (5,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
venus de milo
'statue' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'unveils most of model after recasting' is the wordplay.
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'after recasting' is an anagram indicator.
'model' with its final letter removed is 'mode'.
'unveils'+'mode'='unveilsmode'
'unveilsmode' with letters rearranged gives 'VENUS DE MILO'.
(Other definitions for venus de milo that I've seen before include "Famous sculpture" , "Famous armless statue" , "Renowned sculpture in the Louvre" , "Ancient statue" , "topless work" .)
