Fragment of a light green monochrome square tile. Small parts of the relief decoration and the frame are worn out, with no more slip or glaze. The rear surface is uneven and rough. Moulded relief decoration representing a rampant quadruped, probably a gazelle, in profile, facing the dexter side, showing its left forefoot in the air and a large tail raised. The central motif is enclosed in a beaded frame. None of the tiles of the House of Lustreware was found in situ, therefore their use remains uncertain. An ongoing study conducted by A. Fusaro re-examines the topic on the basis of the archaeological data.
