Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of two identical embroidered floral strips side by side. The strips are vertically oriented, long and narrow. The strips have a floral design with leaves and flowers. The design on each strip includes a large flower at the bottom, with a stem that curls outward. Smaller flowers and leaves are above the large flower. The background appears to be a wrinkled, off-white fabric. Two thin creases run vertically down the center of the image, separating the two strips. There are additional creases across the fabric. Handwritten numbers are in the bottom-right corner. Numbers are printed in the bottom-left corner.
