Late 11th - early 13th c.

Fragment of a green monochrome tile, with a very uneven edge. Fine fabric, identical to the one identified for the glazed vessels of the Ghazni pottery corpus (Fabric no. 25). The front surface completely peeled, with the flaking of the glaze. The rear surface is quite even and smooth.
