    Gli occhi sono gli "occhi apotropaici" tipici del mediterraneo orientale, dell'adriatico e penso anche dell'antica cina; erano messi a prua per allontanare gli spiriti maligni o il malocchio, l'aggiunta delle labbra fanno ricordare ad una polena

    A funny face indeed, and you found a good angle to photograph it.
    Is that the painter's seat dangling??

    @ Dina - That dangling thing signals the presence of a bulbous bow underwater.

    I have a close friend who collects lips, but I don't think this one will fit in her collection. :-D As always, VP, excellent captures... but I can't say I'm impressed by the cartooning of the adult world. Or is this a cruise line targeting children...?

    The reference to Verdi's Aida and the class of the ships (Sphinx) point to something Egyptian...
    I have read that this brand caters almost exclusively to the German-speaking market.

    Germans, huh...? Hmmm... well the only thing that comes to mind is something I'd better keep to myself or it will surely come back to bite my butt. :-D

    Fishing boats in Malta have eyes. If lips too, I can't remember.

    A bulbous bow! I would never have guessed that in a million years.
    Thanks!

    And, who says that Germans don't have a sense of humour? I think the paint job is pretty whimsical.
