Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a long rectangular piece of fabric. The fabric features a repeating design in three sections. The top section depicts a scenic view with a gazebo or pavilion surrounded by plants and a fence, with stylized water and sky above. The middle section shows a symmetrical floral design with birds flying around it. The bottom section features a large symmetrical floral motif. The fabric appears to be a sleeve band, as indicated by its long and narrow shape. The artist is not visually identifiable from the image. The title "Sleeve Band" is associated with the image. The fabric has a label at the bottom with the text "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART" and some numbers.
