This and other medals of similar work, described further on,
viz., James IV., James V., and Mary, were said by the late
Mr. Young'to have been cast from terra-cotta medallions of the
17th century. They are, however, of a still later date, and are
copies in bronze of medallic portraits in opaque paste, executed
by James Tassie at the end of the last century or at the beginning
of the present one. That of James IV., described at p. 26,
has the private mark, an incuse T, of Tassie on the bust.
These medallic portraits were executed by Tassie after the
publication of the catalogue of his works by Raspe, in 1791, as
they are not included in that volume. They were probably
intended to form a series of Scottish Sovereigns, which does
not appear, however, to have been completed.
