The description is a clue to the subject using cryptic crossword clue rules. This one doesn't tell you the length of the answer since the picture gives you an additional clue.

Every cryptic clue is made up of two parts; a definition, and a literal description of the answer using wordplay. They can be in either order (though not intertwined).

Here is a page describing some of the techniques:

I believe you got it Gary!

Sorry, Gary. I screwed up by not thinking of that and putting in the length to rule it out.

That actually fits the cryptic clue, but the answer I'm looking for has 10 letters.

The picture fits the intended answer a bit better than yours, Gary.
