Fragment of a green monochrome square tile, with cut straight edges. The slip unevenly covers the front surface, leaving some spots almost unslipped, which appear darker. The rear surface is even and smooth. A piece of another earthenware object remained stuck to the front surface of the tile, probably during the firing process.
