mortarboards
Tasseled graduation caps
Mortarboards are the flat-topped caps with tassels worn at graduation ceremonies, named for their resemblance to the board used by masons to hold mortar.
The singular also refers to that mason's tool—a flat square board with a handle underneath for carrying wet mortar.
Graduates tossed their mortarboards into the air.
