Small fragment of a green monochrome square 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 even and smooth.
