Mallet (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gavel

'mallet' is the definition.
(gavel is a kind of mallet)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gavel that I've seen before include "An auctioneer's wooden hammer" , "Judicial hammer" , "Judge's hammer" , "Mason's hammer" , "Ceremonial mallet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
