Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a long, narrow piece of fabric with a plant and Chinese writing. The fabric has vertical creases down the middle and on either side. The plant has a thick base with long leaves and several stems with leaves and flowers. The stems and leaves are drawn in varying shades of black. The Chinese writing is in black ink on either side of the plant. The background of the fabric is off-white. The image appears to be a scroll or sleeve band by artist.
