Laurel Wreath

Laurel wreaths consist of the bay laurel leaf. Yes, it is the same bay leaf that we use in Italian cooking. These wreaths represent a master’s degree in some countries. Graduates obtain a laurel wreath during the graduation ceremony and wear it like a crown. The term laureate, as in poet laureate, comes from the bestowal of one of these wreaths. Some poet laureates actually wore them, like Torquato Tasso. 

The wreath appears in heraldry, including some Scottish clan crests. For example, the Buchanan clan crest has a laurel wreath wrapped around a crown held by a hand. It often represents honor, as authority figures bestow it on those they wish to honor.
