PRESS THE TITLE FOR THE VATICAN NEW STORY:
A new pastoral staff for Pope Leo
Beginning on 6 January, Pope Leo XIV has made use of a new pastoral staff which, as explained by the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff, “stands in continuity” with those used by his predecessors, uniting the mission of proclaiming the mystery of Christ on the Cross with the glorious manifestation of the Resurrection.

Blimey, I was right! On two counts, as it looks like Ravelli was behind it being commissioned, or at least wrote the blurb in the article.
Representing both the crucifixion and resurrection at the same time is a tall order, and I'm pretty impressed with how the designer managed it (without making Jesus float unconvincingly in front of the cross as in Pope Francis' resurrexifix).
I like the way that the article views the new ferula as being in continuity with Benedict's.
