Paternoster, Bronze sculpture in Paternoster Square, City of London, England.
The Paternoster sculpture depicts a shepherd guiding five sheep, measuring 213 centimeters tall, 328 centimeters wide, and 81 centimeters deep.
Elisabeth Frink created the sculpture in 1975, commissioned by Trafalgar House for their development project at Paternoster Square near St Paul's Cathedral.
The sculpture references the former Newgate Market's livestock trade while incorporating religious symbolism due to its location near St Paul's Cathedral.
The sculpture stands on a Portland stone plinth in a wheelchair accessible area at coordinates 51°30′53″N 0°05′56″W in Paternoster Square.
Violinist Yehudi Menuhin unveiled the sculpture in July 1975, noting its contrast with surrounding architecture at the time.
