In S E Asia , both in Vietnam and some of Indonesia paint big eyes on the
prow of their boats, just above the water line, in order to keep a look out
for sea monsters and critters that may want to arm them...

They are quite neat looking, I am planning the same on the S & G I am
building...

have fun
