Writing from hammer-wielder carried in gold vessel (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

authorship

'writing' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'hammer-wielder carried in gold vessel' is the wordplay.
'hammer-wielder' becomes 'Thor' (Norse god known for his hammer).
'carried in' is an insertion indicator.
'gold' becomes 'Au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'vessel' becomes 'ship' (ship is a kind of vessel).
'au'+'ship'='auship'
'thor' inserted within 'auship' is 'AUTHORSHIP'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Another definition for authorship that I've seen is " Writing".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
