Fragment of an olive green monochrome hexagonal tile, in the shape of regular hexagon, with lightly oblique edges, cut upward. The slip unevenly cover the decoration in relief, leaving some portions unslipped, as a result they appear darker. The rear surface is uneven and rough, and shows small shallow depressions, very close each other, probably made to be firmly bedded into the architectural surface. Moulded relief decoration representing a central equilateral triangle from which there sprout six shoots with buds, alternately bare or with two leaves at the base. The central motif is framed by a simple fillet.
