Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gray fabric with vertical seam down center, divided into two equal panels. Top of each panel has embroidered design resembling flower or fireworks with curved lines radiating from central point. Below the top design on each panel are three embroidered flowers with curved stems and leaves. Flowers have multiple petals and are positioned vertically. Bottom flower on each panel appears to have more textured center. Fabric appears wrinkled and has darker areas suggesting shadows or creases. The image appears to be a sleeve band by artist.
