Black and white image of a sleeve with a floral design. The sleeve is made of dark fabric, possibly cotton or silk. Two long, rectangular sections of floral embroidery are present, one on the lower half of each side. The embroidery features small flowers and leaves in a repeating pattern. A smaller floral design is visible near the top of each side. The sleeve appears to be split down the middle, with a thin white line running vertically between the two sides. The background of the image is white. Title: Sleeve Band. Artist: unknown.
