Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a long, narrow piece of fabric. Two identical floral designs, symmetrical with vertical stems and curved branches with leaves are at the top. The bottom half features a repeating pattern of four columns. The outer columns have a small circular design. The inner columns have a larger rectangular design with a figure in each. The fabric appears to be made of a light-colored material, possibly silk or satin, with a smooth texture. The overall design is intricate and ornate, suggesting that the fabric may be used for decorative purposes. Title: Sleeve Band. Artist: Unknown.
