Yes, all the references to the Sloane image say Cairo, but the text appears to have been copied from the BL source. It is possible the description is correct, but I would be inclined to question it as the accompanying text doesn't seem to quite fit that description and neither do the drawings including the swallow-tailed merlons. Maybe I will contact them, if I can be bothered.
