Fragment of a green monochrome tile. 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. No photographic documentation is preserved.
