This shepherds crook was a commissioned work for a gentleman
in New York, made up from a very young Marino rams horn, then mounted
on to a very rare stick of wild Privet, rare because here in South
Australias very harsh climate Privet is hard to grow even in the best
of conditions, so finding this bush growing wild amongst the eucalypts
was something special, it has made a beautiful stick.
