Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photo of a long, white piece of fabric with two identical sections of patterned design. The fabric is rectangular and appears to be folded or creased down the middle. Each patterned section is long and narrow, with a border of small teardrop shapes around the edges. Inside the borders are rows of small animals and floral patterns. The animals appear to be deer or dogs and are depicted in various poses. The background of the image is white, suggesting that it may be a product photo or a scan of the fabric. The title "Sleeve Band" and the artist are associated with this image.
