Small fragment of a yellow monochrome hexagonal tile, in the shape of elongated hexagon, with lightly oblique edges, cut upward. Fine fabric, identical to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 25). The front surface peeled, with the flaking of both slip and glaze. The rear surface is quite uneven.
