Small fragment of a green monochrome square tile. The surfaces in relief of the decoration as well as the frame are completely worn out, with no more slip or glaze. The rear surface is even and smooth. Moulded relief decoration, the motif cannot be identified due to the poor state of preservation and the small dimensions of the item. The central motif is enclosed in a beaded frame.
