Crossword Genius

African version of Mona Lisa (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

somalian

'african' is the definition.
(Somalian is an example)

'version of mona lisa' is the wordplay.
'version of' indicates anagramming the letters (another version of the same letters).
'mona'+'lisa'='monalisa'
'monalisa' is an anagram of 'SOMALIAN'.
