In reality my graphics is more complex and clip path wasn't sufficient for this case:

But a good note. I've realized that for PDF output there is no point in using the mask as I use simplified SVG version (comparing to screen displays) so in this particular case I can achieve the desired effect just by slight change of used design :-)
