Late 11th - early 13th c.

Fragment of a yellow monochrome tile. The glaze is speckled. The rear surface is rough and cracked. None of the tiles of the House of Lustreware was found in situ, therefore their use remains uncertain. An ongoing study conducted by A. Fusaro re-examines the topic on the basis of the archaeological data.
