The remains of the insert piece are woven with coloured wool. The design originally consisted of a centre circle with corner circles containing kneeling putti. Fragments of a semi-circular frieze element can be found at the edge. Next to it are remnants of green plant motifs with red flowers as well as vases and fruit in yellow and orange. The insert was originally lined with fine knitted, unbleached linen.
The Coptic textiles preserved in the Ulm Museum were purchased from the collection of Franz Bock (1823 - 1899) by the former Ulm Trade Museum at the end of the 1880s. Dr Franz Johann Joseph Bock was a clergyman and art historian and travelled to Upper Egypt in 1885 and 1886, where he carried out excavations. He amassed a collection of Coptic textile fragments from tombs. In particular, these were pieces of blankets or tunics. Franz Bock gradually sold the collected objects to various museums. As Bock trimmed his finds, only sections of larger fabrics were usually included in the various collections. It is therefore likely that fragments of one and the same textile are scattered across several collections.
