Fragment of a thick green monochrome tile. Fine fabric, identical to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 25). A small portion of the front surface peeled, with the flaking of the glaze. The front surface is partially covered by an earthy-calcareous deposit. The rear surface is rough and cracked.
