Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with a repeating floral pattern. The fabric is white with a black design. The design has a symmetrical pattern with flowers, leaves and stems. The pattern repeats along the length of the fabric in two halves mirrored across the center. The fabric appears to have been stitched or embroidered. The fabric is displayed on a flat surface with a slight wrinkle down the center and horizontally across the bottom. A small white label is at the bottom with the text "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1930". The artwork title is "Sleeve Band" by an unknown artist.
