Fragment of a green monochrome square tile, with cut uneven edges. Fine fabric, identical to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 25). The front surface completely peeled, with the flaking and loss of both slip and glaze. The rear surface is uneven and rough.
