Bronze Tibetan

How do I know if something is in bronze or brass?

I have a statue of Buddha Tibetan Tara. I inherited and the person who received the gift I inherited from someone who has traveled in India but I do not know how to tell if its bronze or brass and would like to find out.

Bronze is a color more opaque and has a dark brown color. Brass is brighter and sharper. The color should be like bronze or gold color in that family. (Think of a brass instrument like the trumpet or tuba) If you still can not be said, then take to a local store or a pawn shop nearby and might be able to tell the difference. Hope that helped!

Black and Green Tibetan Motifs Storage Cabinet
$332.99
Infuse your decor with a splash of color and Eastern mysticism with this one-of-a-kind handmade cabinet/end table and its rich Tibetan and Chinese symbolism. The images are intricately hand-painted with the raised-paint effect which is typical of Tibetan artistry. The doors are brimming with sacred Buddhist visions. The beautiful floral image on the left door depicts "the canopy," and represents spiritual authority and a refuge for all living beings. The right door displays the "ring of fire," signifying the periphery of the universe through which all enlightened beings must pass. The dual flower baskets, one on each door, are the emblems of the female immortal Lan Caihe, and represent the transience of life, while the legendary guardians "Qilin," the dog-like animals who appear only during times of peace, are hand-painted in exquisite detail. The focal point on the upper drawer is a frontward facing dragon. Additional hand-painted floral patterns grace the borders of the cabinet's frame, representing abundance. The two doors swing open on "menzhou," an ancient hingeless mechanism which allows the doors to be easily and completely removed, revealing a spacious interior complete with convenient shelf for added storage space. The doors are opened with symmetrical bronze butterfly and flower basket handles. Measures 34 inches high x 23 inches wide x 15 inches long. AsiaEXP brings you authentic, handcrafted goods from a variety of world cultures. Your purchase helps sustain local artisans who work to preserve their creative heritage while pursuing their craft. The handcrafted nature of this product will result in minor differences in design and size. Subtle variations will occur from piece to piece, contributing to the product's unique intrigue and value. Measurements may vary slightly.
