He led France in the Napoleonic Wars seizing control of most of Europe before being defeated at the Battle of Waterloo and exiled. In this jug he is observing the battle raging before him with his spy glass in right hand the latest orders in his left and a damaged canon at his feet. He is marked with intertwined initials.
