Fragment of a red monochrome tile, with lightly oblique edges, cut downward. Fine fabric, similar to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 25 but coarser, with more quartz temper). The glaze shows some yellow spots. The rear surface is quite uneven and cracked.
