shepherd's crook
Herder's curved stick
A shepherd's crook is a long staff with a curved hook at the top, traditionally used by shepherds to catch sheep by the leg or neck.
The distinctive curved shape has become a symbol of pastoral life and appears in religious imagery, where bishops carry a stylized version called a crosier.
He leaned on his shepherd's crook, watching the flock graze.
