Large fragment of a yellow monochrome square tile. Moulded relief decoration representing a rampant gazelle in profile, facing the dexter side, with its forefeet in the air, showing a large tail raised with a vegetal end. The central motif is framed by a simple fillet; this is an unusual feature for square tiles with gazelle.
