Two fragments of a green monochrome square tile, with cut straight edges. The rear surface is even and smooth. Moulded relief decoration, the motif cannot be identified due to the small dimensions of the item. The central motif is enclosed in a beaded frame. No photographic documentation is preserved. The two fragments are currently kept in two different museums.
