Messovskaya Strip

Mass stripes appeared in Australia in the mid-20th century. The image of the strip began to be hung to protect against seasickness. This attribute became popular among tourists and spread throughout the country. Gradually, stripes became an attribute of men, not just women. Today, the Mass stripe is worn by both sexes to protect themselves from the elements of the sea. But from a distance it looks like a big cat is wearing a stripe on its collar. Messkaya massa is nothing more than an amulet, a talisman against evil spirits, worries and illnesses that are sure to befall a man on a long trip on a sea liner or yacht.
