Mortar Board
Brick-laying mixing platform
A mortar board is the flat, square-topped cap with a tassel worn at academic graduations.
The name comes from its resemblance to the flat board used by masons to hold mortar.
The term also refers to that mason's tool itself—a square board with a handle underneath for carrying wet mortar or plaster.
