Is this bronze?

    There are a few small chips on this piece that shows white. I saw another like it online that said it was bronze. Is this bronze or something else? It had a lot of green tarnish on it that I cleaned off. I thought a bronze piece would be solid.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    I may not be a metal genius, but I don't think if it were bronze, that you should be seeing any white!!!! How heavy is it???? VERY or NOT so very, along with how big is it??? My general feeling is that it might be plaster with a few coats of metallic paint on it.....but I could be way off base too:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    It weighs almost 5 pounds and is 6" high by 9" wide. Thank you for your thoughts.

    I've seen that one and than there is this one. But I see that they have the wrong artist mentioned. Thank you for your help!

    I cannot open the Pinterest one.
    But these are resin, with a bronze finish, so not solid bronze.

    That's what I'm thinking also, just wanted to get others opinions. Thank you so much for your time.
