Bronze
Pre-iron historical era
Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, harder and more durable than either metal alone.
It names a historical period—the Bronze Age—when humans first worked metal.
Bronze describes the reddish-brown color of the alloy: a bronze tan, bronze skin.
In competition, bronze is third place after gold and silver: She won the bronze medal.
To bronze is to give something a bronze color or coating: bronzed baby shoes.
