Presumably a fragment of a Coptic priest's cloak woven with black wool on linen. The ornaments are surrounded by long knobbed linen rubbing and wool knobs are knotted into the ornaments.
There are two parallel borders with the same geometric pattern on the fragment, one in better condition, the other in poorer condition. In the centre is a destroyed ornament that continues at a 90-degree angle to the side. Next to it is a square containing smaller squares, which in turn are enclosed by the four angled, isolated arms of two swastikas that break through the edges of the outer square.
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.
