Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, is prized for its durability and corrosion resistance. Its reddish-brown surface darkens with age, forming a green patina in damp environments. Harder than pure copper, it’s ideal for tools, weapons, and statues. Its resonance makes it a preferred material for bells and gongs.
The bronze blade shows a dull sheen, its edges mottled with darker patches from time. Fine casting lines remain visible, hinting at its craftsmanship. Cool and dense, it feels unyielding, yet balanced in weight.
