Pap Boat

Joel Sayre

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Pap Boat by Joel Sayre is a black and white photograph of a silver-colored metal object. The object has a bowl-like shape with a handle or spout on the left side that curves upwards. The edge of the bowl has a decorative edge with small bumps. The bowl appears to be made of metal, possibly silver or pewter, with visible signs of wear and tear, including dark spots and a slightly tarnished appearance. The background of the image is white, with a slight shadow underneath the object.
