Bell metal which sounds so beautiful when struck is a bronze containing about 20-25 percent tin. It is particularly well suited for sculpture because it expands when heated filling the nooks and crannies of a mold then contracts as it cools so the sculpture is easy to remove from the mold.

Statuary bronze is technically a brass with a tin content of less than 10.
. The wire is affixed to a base which is usually made of wood. The artist then begins fleshing out the sculpture by adding wax or clay over the wire. Depending on the material and technique the armature may be left buried within the sculpture but if the sculpture is to be hollowed out for firing it must 1 be removed.
