There is no way to guess the specific metals and it could even be a mix of alloys. Some of it looks like a copper alloy. Even aluminum can be anodized, producing different colorations. I have a feeling it is not a bronze. I have some of those, and mine are not anywhere near this size, and mine weigh around 50 lb. IF this were a bronze sculpture, it would be very expensive - VERY and would literally weigh a ton. My sculptures are only 18-20" tall and 12-18" wide.

What is the size? Do you know (approximately) how heavy it is? What's the diameter of the base? That's important, because this sculpture would be very top-heavy if it was fabricated with any kind of a heavy metal (bronze for example). Therefore, it would need a huge and heavy base to be stable.

Whatever it is, I love it.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
