Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of rectangular piece of fabric with floral design. The fabric is long and rectangular. A symmetrical floral design runs the length of the fabric in the center, with a border on either long side. The design consists of curved tree branches with leaves and flowers on them. The branches curve around two birds facing each other at the top and bottom. In the center are two butterflies. The fabric appears to have some creases running across it. The piece is titled "Sleeve Band" by an unknown artist.
