bronze figures

Cast copper-alloy art

Bronze figures are sculptures or statuettes cast in bronze, an alloy of copper and tin.

The term typically refers to representational works—human forms, animals, or mythological subjects—rather than abstract pieces.

Bronze figures range from small decorative items to monumental public statues: The museum's collection includes bronze figures from ancient Greece.

They're valued for bronze's durability and the fine detail the casting process allows.
