Fragment of a yellow monochrome square 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 slip completely covers also the rear surface. The glaze is speckled. Most of the front surface peeled, with the flaking of the glaze. The rear surface is uneven and unlevelled.
