The current bronze is mainly composed of two materials, they are copper and tin. Of course there are other types of copper, such as brass, red copper, cupronickel and so on. Different types of copper are suitable for casting of different sculptures. For example, the low price of brass is suitable for casting large sculptures, while the high purity of copper is suitable for casting some delicate sculptures.

Because of its unique physical properties, copper is very strong, wear-resistant, and will not rust. Sculptures are often placed outdoors, so weather resistance and corrosion resistance are one of the important factors in the selection of sculpture materials.

The bronze sculpture is cast using the traditional lost wax method. The sculptures made are hollow, while copper has a relatively low melting point and good fluidity. It is very easy to cast the required shape. Compared with other types of materials, it has the highest cost performance.
