Late 12th - early 13th c.
Small fragment of a green monochrome hexagonal tile, probably in the shape of regular hexagon, very badly preserved. The front surface peeled. Moulded relief decoration, it is difficult to identify the pattern, that could be zoomorphic or vegetal. The central motif is framed by a simple fillet.
