[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 39212, member: 54"]First, since it may be hard to tell exactly what it is made of, why do you need to know? If just for listing, see if a magnet attracts it. If not u can say it is made of nonferrous metal (if it is metal.) The nut underneath makes it look like it has some age, but that has no bearing on what metal it is. To find out more u might want to remove nut and look at underside of the head. Bronze is normally used for relatively expensive sculptures. When fine details need near-perfect replication, bronze is a good choice. I don't see this as something the makers would normally have considered making from bronze.[/QUOTE]
