What isvtassel

The tassel appears in Craft Masonry within lodge symbolism and upon the Master Mason's apron.

In early eighteenth-century rituals, the "indented tassel" is listed among the ornaments of the lodge, alongside the mosaic pavement and the blazing star 2. On early tracing boards, a rope or cord with ties and tassels at the corners is similarly depicted framing the pavement 2.

On the Master Mason's apron, Wilmshurst interprets the two seven-fold tassels that terminate the descending columns of light as symbols representing the seven-fold prismatic spectrum of supernal light 1.
