How do I know if something is bronze or brass?
I have a statue of Buddha Tara Tibetan. I inherited it and the person I inherited received as a gift from someone who has traveled to India but I do not know how whether his bronze or brass and would like to discover.
The bronze color is duller and has a dark brown color. Brass is brighter and looks intelligent. The color of copper should be like gold in this family of color. (Think of a brass instrument like the trumpet or tuba) If you still can not say, then turn a local pawn shop or a store nearby and they might be able to make a difference. Hope that helped!
