How to bend this object around another object

Use the _Bend command. You will be asked to set the start and end of the spine - that is the region of your object where you wand to take place. So before running _Bend, place a point on the object where the bend is to begin. Measure the length of the arc you are bending around, place a second point on the object that distance from the first point. Use those two points to click on to mark the start and end of the spine. After marking the spine start and end you will be asked for the point to bend through. Make sure the options are set as follows before doing so, particularly the one highlighted:

Then pick the end of the curve. Do not worry that the preview shows a completely incorrect bend! This is a know problem. Your object should now fit around the curve. You can repeat for further bends as required.

Note that this only works for arc bends…
