Late 11th - early 13th c.
Fragment of a green monochrome square tile, with lightly oblique edges, cut downward. 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, leaving some portions unslipped, that appear darker. The rear surface is even and smooth. Traces of thick (bedding) mortar are preserved in one of the broken fractures.
