Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Navy blue fabric with embroidered gold bird and pink flowers. The bird has long feathers on its body and tail, with red and gold markings on its head. The flowers have five petals and are attached to green stems with leaves. The fabric appears to be split down the middle, with a small gap between the two sides. The background behind the fabric is white. "Sleeve Band" by artist unknown.
