Material	marble bronze copper-tin alloy; refers to a broad range of alloys of copper, specifically any non-ferrous alloy of copper, tin, and zinc or other trace metals in varying proportions from 70 to 95 percent copper in surviving ancient artifacts. Because of the copper base, bronze may be very malleable and easy to work. By the Middle Ages in Europe, it was recognized that using the metals in certain proportions could yield specific properties. Some modern bronzes contain no tin at all, substituting other metals such as aluminum, manganese, and even zinc. Historically, the term was used interchangeably with "latten." U.S. standard bronze is composed of 90% copper, 7% tin and 3% zinc. Ancient bronze alloys sometimes contained up to 14% tin.

Notes

[a] Doralynn Pines notes that this tomb's ornamental border is unique in Santa Croce. While this may be due in part to survival, it is nevertheless noteworthy that no other tomb frames have the same black marble diamonds carrying white marble quatrefoils. The coat of arms uses bronze to indicate the gold stars and rake that decorate the Tinacci family shield.
