Conductor's stick.

The word baton, from the French bâton (stick, also in ordinary senses; itself from Late Latin bastum "stout staff," presumed of Celtic origin), has been used in English at least since 1590 (earlier as a weapon) to indicate a type of formal attribute of office in the shape of a rather short stick, shorter than a staff, not for use (unlike the swagger stick) but an ornate symbol of authority, often worn with a uniform.

A baton is the small stick used by conductors to lead a group of musicians, either choral, instrumental, or both. They are usually made of wood, but may also be made of fiberglass or carbon fiber. Felix Mendelssohn was the first known conductor to use a baton to keep time.
