Plain tile
Fired clay
Mould
3x1.7x1 cm
Late 11th - early 13th c.

Small fragment of an opaque turquoise 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 glaze shows many crackles and is covered by a greyish layer. The rear surface is uneven and rough. It probably matches with IG6279.
