Very small 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 rear surface is uneven and rough. Traces of the thick bedding mortar are preserved in the rear surface and also on fractures.
