Fragment of a green 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 front surface partially peeled, with the flaking of the glaze. The rear surface is even and smooth. The tile is slightly warped.
