Description

A dark brown wooden staff with a metal tip and cap, fitted with two metal bands, and a metal figure of Jesus Christ attached to the shaft. The figure has short metal chains attached to his hands, which are tipped with ruby-like gems, or pieces of glass. A metal hook/clasp has also been added to the staff. It is hinged and shaped to rest flush against the cylindrical shaft. Hanging from this hook/clasp is a metal cross that has been inlayed with an emerald-coloured stone in the middle and ruby-coloured stones on the leaf shapes of the arms and base of the cross. The head, or top, of the staff is capped with metal and inset with a dark blue, oblong stone. The rim of the head has been decorated with a fringe of pentagonal, dart-shaped discs that are attached to the staff with small jump rings. The head of the staff has also been incised with three rows of illegible text.
