hanging on a tree at a boat wharf in
the
Mae Khong River (fig.)
Delta (fig.)
region in southern
Vietnam. They are
Evil Eyes
that belong to
traditional wooden river barges (fig.),
that in this
region are not painted on the prow, but rather made from
detachable wooden blocks, that are removed and hung on a
tree when the boats are in the wharf for repairs and
maintenance. |
