Complete small opaque turquoise monochrome hexagonal tile, in the shape of elongated hexagon, with cut straight edges. The rear surface is even and smooth. The item is badly fired and badly preserved, the glaze has a white alteration layer and shows many craters of burst bubbles. 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.
