Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a long, narrow piece of fabric with a repeating floral pattern. The fabric is white with a black design. The design has two sections that are mirror images of each other. Each section contains a tree-like design with flowers and leaves. The design on the bottom half of the fabric appears to be a continuation of the design on the top half. The bottom of the image shows a small white rectangle with black text that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1930". The fabric is labeled "Sleeve Band" and the artist is unknown.
