"In the upper part of the design the Recording Angel (or Truth) draws or engraves on an oval shield which she rests on a pedestal. On it are depicted French soldiers bayoneting defenceless Turks (apparently adapted from BMSat 10062). In the background are the head of a Sphinx, and clouds. Against the pedestal on which Truth stands rests a picture, filling the lower part of the design. Napoleon kneels on a rock, extending imploring arms towards Nilus, a nude and muscular figure seated on rock from which water gushes. Nilus veils and averts his head. In the background are pyramids and palm-trees."--British Museum online catalogue.
