Bronze is copper and usually tin. Copper has a density 8.96 g/cm³, tin is between 5.769 g/cm³ and 7.265 g/cm³.
So, there are 2.54cms in an inch, so a cubic foot of bronze is 12*12*12*2.54*2.54*2.54cm³. Once you've worked out his, you've got the total volume of a cubic foot in cm³. If you then assume bronze is approx. 7g/cm³ multiplying this by 7 will give you the weight in grams. It's easy then to convert it to pounds if need be.

Density of bronze is about 8 gm/cc. At 2.54 cm/inch, a cubic foot is about 226.5 kilograms. At 2.2 lbs/kg, that's 498 pounds. There's more than one type of bronze listed, so adjust the figure accordingly.

I would assume a lot - depending on how hollow it is
