| Description | A colourful Maltese luzzu or fishing boat. These fishing vessels are usually painted in gaudy colours and they are a feast of colour worth watching. The luzzu is the main fishing vessel of the Maltese Islands and its shape and decoration goes back hundreds of years. Its structure has remained unchanged and the eye of Horus clearly seen in this photograph is a sure sign that the luzzu and the whole Maltese fishing tradition dates back to the time of the Phoenicians who must have brought over the Egyptian belief that the Eye Of Horus protects its wearers or users from the evil eye. There is no tradition which says that the Egyptians ever came to Malta but they had an ever ending trade with the Phoenicians who were their seafarers as the Egyptians did not have a seafaring tradition basing their naval knowledge to navigating up and down the Nile. - MALTA |
