Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a Sleeve Band by an unknown artist. The image shows two long, narrow panels side by side. The panels are light-colored with darker discoloration lines running vertically down the center of each. The panels have a design with a bird, flowers, leaves, and trees. The bird at the top of each panel faces right and sits on a branch. The bottom section features a large tree, a bird standing on ground near water, and a bird flying or falling. The bottom edge features plants and wavy lines. The two panels have a seam or fold between them. The image has creases from folding. The background around the panels is white.
