Two matching fragments of a russet 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 front surface partially peeled, with the flaking of both slip and glaze. The rear surface is uneven and rough and is almost completely broken.
