Black-brown woven insert of a linen robe in the shape of a regular star-shaped octagon formed by the intersection of two squares. While the pattern of the border is created by interwoven strong linen threads, the inner surface is decorated with a sewn-on ribbon weave pattern in squares. At the bottom is a narrow clave ending in a round piece; while this round piece shows sewing work applied to wool, the stripe is knitted in black-brown in white.
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.
