Late 11th - early 12th c.
Three matching fragments of a green monochrome tile, probably without decoration. Information regarding shape or possible decoration is missing, and no photographic documentation is preserved. None of the tiles of the Palace 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.
