Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows the sleeve band titled "Sleeve Band" by an unknown artist. Two vertical sections of fabric, likely a sleeve, are shown side by side. The fabric is dark-colored. There is a white thin line down the center between the two sections. The top of each section features a small cluster of shiny, light-colored sequins. Along the bottom half of each section are two stacked rectangular areas filled with shiny, light-colored sequins arranged in a floral pattern. The fabric appears wrinkled and has horizontal creases. The background behind the fabric sections is white.
