These eyes may be the modern survival of an ancient Phoenician custom (also practiced by the ancient Greeks); they are sometimes (and probably inaccurately) referred to as the Eye of Horus or of Osiris. The luzzu has a double-ended hull. A variant, the kajjik, is similar in appearance, but has a square transom
