Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of two pieces of white fabric with embroidery. The fabric has a light gray border on left and right edges. Embroidered design on fabric includes a flowering tree in the center, with leaves and multiple flowers on branches extending outwards. Many insects and butterflies are embroidered among the flowers. The fabric appears wrinkled and creased. The image appears to be a scanned or photographed piece of artwork. The artwork appears to be titled "Sleeve Band" by an unknown artist. The image is divided vertically down the middle to show two panels side-by-side.
