Late 11th - early 13th c.
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 glaze shows a white and iridescent alteration layer. The rear surface is uneven and rough. No photographic documentation is preserved.
