Insert in the shape of a regular star-shaped octagon formed by the intersection of two squares. The base is a smooth linen fabric on which the linen weft threads are missing in places and in their place a woollen weft is woven into the now exposed weft threads. An internal drawing of ribbon interlacing has been embroidered into the black and blue wool in a circle with delicate white threads. The centre circle is surrounded by three-lobed naturalistic vine leaves, which fill the eight gussets.
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.
