François Selimand's "Sash" (1773-1794) is a textile piece showcasing intricate floral patterns and a horizontal striped design. The sash is made of silk and features a delicate fringe at the bottom. Its design blends European and Asian influences, reflecting the cultural exchange of the period. The Sash is a prime example of 18th-century textile craftsmanship and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
