Ancient Bronze Vessel
Bronze was significant to any culture that encountered it. It was one of the most innovative alloys of mankind.
Tools, weapons, armour, and various building materials like decorative tiles made of bronze were harder and more durable than their stone and copper ("Chalcolithic") predecessors.
In early use, the impurity arsenic sometimes created a superior alloy; this is termed arsenical bronze.
