Masonic Tall Cedars of Lebanon Members Pyramid Hat; green felt hat with green tassel, three-sided, pyramidal, in yellow "Bethlehem Forest/ No 61/ TALL CEDARS/ OF LEBANON".

Shriners and members of the Tall Cedars of Lebanon, a side degree associated with the York Rite, wear distinctive cone or triangular-shaped hats with tassels. Called fezzes and pyramids, these hats are worn by members for meetings and at public events. Fezzes and pyramids like these bear names of the members' Shrine Temple or Tall Cedars Forest.
