Fragment of a green monochrome tile, with lightly oblique edges, cut upward. The rear surface is uneven and rough and shows a small piece of another green glazed object that remained stuck to it, probably during the firing process. 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.
