3.9x0.9 cm
Late 11th - early 13th c.

Small fragment of a green monochrome tile, with lightly oblique edges, cut downward. Fine fabric, identical to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 25). The rear surface is rough and cracked and has a lighter colour than the ceramic body, due to the firing process.
