Small fragment of an opaque turquoise monochrome hexagonal tile, in the shape of elongated hexagon, with cut straight edges. Fine fabric, identical to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 26). The glaze shows a white alteration layer. The rear surface is even and smooth. It matches with IG6385.
