Bronze is a alloy of copper and tin, but it may also contain phosphorus, manganese, silicon and aluminium. Bronze use was most prominant in the bronze age, where as the name suggests it was used to create nearly all the tools, weapons and luxury items that humans needed at the time. This is because in some aspects it is actually stronger than iron but the use of the metal fell from grace as it needs two componants and a lot of trade to create, whereas iron only needs a single source of ore.

In a more modern context Bronze is used in some electrical componants due to its high copper content. Its also included in coins, screws, wires, necklace's, Musical Instruments, doorfittings, Plumbing fittings, some tools and i think some Hindu and Buddhist statues.
