Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of two long, narrow strips of fabric side by side. The fabric is rectangular and appears to be made of a light-colored material, possibly silk or cotton. The strips are vertical and symmetrical. Each strip has a border of small oval shapes around the edges. Inside the borders, there are repeating patterns of abstract shapes that resemble leaves or flowers. The background of the image is white, suggesting that it may be a product photo or a scan of the fabric. The title of the image is "Sleeve Band" and the artist is unknown.
