Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a long, narrow piece of fabric with embroidered designs, titled "Sleeve Band" by an unknown artist. The fabric is gray with a smooth texture and a crease down the middle. The embroidered design on the fabric consists of two long vertical panels. Each panel features a series of rectangular scenes with people, plants, and animals. The scenes depict people interacting with plants and animals in a landscape setting. The scenes are separated by flowers and foliage. The fabric has a thin black line at the top and bottom edges. The background of the image is white.
