Late 11th - early 13th c.
Fragment of a yellow monochrome square tile. The front surface partially peeled, with the flaking of both slip and glaze. The presence of a green splash on the front surface and partially on the rear one seems accidental, possibly due to a drop of green glaze fallen on the tile from another glazed object (during the firing process). The rear surface is uneven and rough.
