Late 12th - early 13th c.
Fragment of a green monochrome tile, with cut straight edges. The front surface peeled, with the almost complete flaking of both slip and glaze. Moulded relief decoration, whose motif is impossible to identify due to the very poor state of preservation of the tile. The central motif is framed by a polygonal fillet.
