Late 11th - early 13th c.
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 slip unevenly covers the front surface, leaving some portions unslipped, that appear darker. The front surface partially peeled, with the flaking of the glaze. The rear surface is quite even.
