INCREDIBLE AUCTION!!! SPECTACULAR AND RARE TERRACOTTA SCULPTURE,NOK CULTURE. CONSERVATION: Perfect DIMENSIONS: 8.7X3.9 inch The Nok civilization appeared in Nigeriaaround 500 B.C. and mysteriously vanished in the late first millennium A.D., perhaps because of disease or famine.The civilization's social system was extremely advanced representing the end of the Neolithic Age(Stone Age) and start of the Iron Age in Africa. Some theorize that the Nok civilization is a direct descendant of the Egyptian civilization. The Nok civilization was considered to be the greatest sub-Saharan producer of Terracotta. Nok culture terracottas are heralded as the prime evidence of the refinement of African civilizations, and it is suggested that the society eventually evolved into the later Yoruba kingdom of Ife. According to some accounts, based on artistic similarities between early Yoruba art forms and Nok forms, t may be connections between Nok culture and contemporary Yoruba peoples. Later brass and terracotta sculptures of the Ife and Benin cultures show significant similarities with those found at Nok.
