Square insert, black-brown woven in white. The square is formed by a wide band onto which a plait-like ornament is sewn with ochre-coloured thread. The ribbon is surrounded by a diamond-shaped pattern. The field inside the square shows a centre circle filled with 8 small octagons, while lions or basilisks appear in the four corner circles; red vases with a green band are enclosed by the corner circles.
The Coptic textiles preserved in the Ulm Museum were purchased from the collection of Franz Bock (1823 - 1899) at the end of the 1880s by the former Gewerbemuseum Ulm. 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.
