Crosier

Crosier, a staff 5 feet long, surmounted by a cross, and borne by or before an archbishop on solemn occasions. It is generally hollow, gilt, and richly ornamented. The crozier differs entirely from the Pastoral Staff (q.v.), with which it is often nevertheless confounded—the latter having a circular head, in the form of a crook. The illustration is of Archbishop Warham's crozier, from Canterbury Cathedral.
