Fragment of a yellow monochrome tile, with cut straight edges. Fine fabric, identical to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 25). The rear surface is uneven and cracked. A small piece of another glazed and slipped earthenware object remained stuck to the rear surface, probably during the firing process.
