The square insert piece has an inlaid pattern in dark red wool. The centre square, in which there is a circle that presumably originally depicted a figure, was decorated with plant ornamentation. The inner square is surrounded by 16 circular fields filled with a flower-like geometric ornament. The outer end of the square is formed by a frame with a dentil frieze pattern.
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 from one and the same textile are scattered across several collections.
