Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Sleeve Band by unknown artist shows a grayscale image of two long pieces of fabric side by side. The fabric is light-colored with darker shading and creases throughout. Each piece of fabric has intricate white designs on it. The designs on the fabric feature various scenes and motifs, including birds, flowers, leaves, and people in different settings. The scenes on both fabrics are rectangular and stacked on top of one another vertically down the center of each fabric. The designs are detailed and appear to be embroidered or printed on the fabric. There is text along the bottom.
