Two ovals and a circle in decorative frames arranged vertically. Round the upper oval the title is engraved. Within it is a bust profile portrait in an oval, probably intended for the Duke of Richmond but resembling Lord Amherst (commander-in-chief). This is 'No 1.', and is surrounded by military trophies and surmounted by a broken mural coronet. The circle, inscribed 'No 2', contains a full-face bust portrait of Warren Hastings; it is surrounded by a laurel wreath, at the apex of which is an oriental bed. Military trophies, spears, bayonets, &amp;c, surround the circle.  In the lower oval is engraved:
<p><br><br>'N° 1. 
<br>This is one of those extraordinary personages termed Conquerors; and may be thought great like Alexander, he having been where ambition has destroyed numbers; as tho' mankind was only made to be cut to Pieces. Such we call a Hero, a Warrior, a General, or Mankiller.
<br><br>N° 2. This is the head of an Eastern Chief.  The Chiefs of which place is under great Subjection of Lacks of Rupees and Berguders or else Deposed of their Crowns; Torn from their families or Starved by our Modern Conquerors: which has been the case lately, he is called Tulgagee Mahah Rajah.
