Hit crypt, damaged typical altarpiece (8)
I believe the answer is:
triptych
'typical altarpiece' is the definition.
'triptych' can be an answer for 'altarpiece' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'typical' bit.
'hit crypt damaged' is the wordplay.
'damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'hit'+'crypt'='hitcrypt'
'hitcrypt' anagrammed gives 'TRIPTYCH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for triptych that I've seen before include "set of panels" , "Picture with three panels" , "Altarpiece" , "Artistic work on three panels" , "Hit crypt (anag) - painting" .)
