Late 11th - early 13th c.
Fragment of a green monochrome square tile, with irregular edges (some cut straight, some lightly oblique cut downward). Fine fabric, identical to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 25). Small pieces of other earthenware objects remained stuck to the rear surface of the tile, probably during the firing process. The rear surface is uneven and rough.
