What is a "tassel"?
A tassel is a decorative ornament made of threads or cords, usually hanging from a knot or loop. It is commonly found at the end of graduation caps, where it is worn as part of academic regalia. During graduations, the tassel is typically moved from one side to the other to signify the completion of a degree. Tassels can also be attached to items like curtains or clothing as a decorative feature. The color of the tassel may indicate the specific field of study or the institution's colors.
