"A design in two compartments. On the left is a tall officer standing stiffly in profile to the right, his elbow to his side and holding his drawn sabre erect. He has a grotesquely long and projecting nose. On the right a short, fat officer stands full-face, his left hand on the hilt of his sword."--British Museum online catalogue.
