Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of textile, "Sleeve Band" by unknown artist. Long rectangular fabric with dark borders on left and right. Light-colored wide central panel flanked by two narrower dark panels decorated with white embroidery. The dark panels have curvilinear designs. The two lighter panels have patterns of small dense floral motifs. The fabric has a sheen suggesting it is made of satin or similar smooth fabric. The borders on left and right have a wrinkled appearance.
