The circular insert of a linen robe is knitted in brown-black wool. The white patterns are sewn on. Inside the circular area is an octagonal star filled with a pattern of intertwined ribbons and occasional diamond ornaments. Smaller circular ornaments are sewn between the points of the star. Further intertwined lines form the outer edge of the circle.
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.
