Fragment of a yellow monochrome hexagonal tile, with cut straight edges. Fine fabric, identical to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 25). Some portions of the front surface peeled, with the flaking of the glaze. The rear surface is uneven and cracked. The tile is not well manufactured. Chemical analysis were carried out on the item for characterizing the glaze composition.
