Fragment of an opaque turquoise monochrome square tile, with cut straight edges. The presence of slip in association with the opaque turquoise glaze is unusual and exceptional. The glaze shows a white alteration layer. The rear surface is even and smooth. Moulded relief decoration representing a quadruped in profile, facing the dexter side, only one forefoot is visible. The central motif is enclosed in a beaded frame.
