A tassel is a cluster of strands of any material hanging
from an object. Tassels have been known since ancient times. According to the Hebrew
Bible, God commanded the Hebrews (via Moses) to wear fringes (tassels) on the
corners of their garments as a reminder to observe God’s commandments. Tassels
were used as ornaments on clothing in Europe, especially France during the
Renaissance and Baroque periods. They also have been used to embellish jewelry.
They are also traditionally used on graduation hats. The tasseled pendant
