Since ancient times, sailors have believed that painting a blue eye onto their boats will protect them and ensure a successful voyage.
In modern Turkey, fishermen continue this tradition by decorating their boats with the nazar boncu臒u , eye shaped talismans made from blue glass. The nazars are used to ward off the evil eye and protect the believer from jealousy and ill will.
The history and artistic importance of nazars is explained to us by UNESCO Living Human Treasure Mahmut S眉r, who operates a traditional glass forge in the village of Nazark枚y, and has just begun to teach women to make nazars for the first time.
