Late 11th - early 13th c.
Fragment of a light green monochrome square tile, with lightly oblique edges, cut downward. The tile is quite thick. Fine fabric, identical to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 25). The slip unevenly covers the front surface, as a result some portions appears darker. Small spots of the front surface peeled, with the flaking of the glaze. The rear surface is even and smooth.
