Plain tile
Fired clay
Mould
4x0.8 cm
Late 11th - early 13th c.

Two matching fragments of a green monochrome square tile, with uneven edges. Fine fabric, identical to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 25). The slip does not cover the edges, that appear darker. The glaze is good and glossy. The rear surface is quite smooth but cracked. It probably matches with IG6381.
