| | Nok Terracottas (500 B.C.–200 A.D.) Special Topics Page Timeline of Art History The Metropolitan Museum of Art |
| | But as captivating as these embellishments are, the range of expression in Nok terracottas is far from limited to depictions of idealized health and beauty. | | | These objects are so highly varied that it is likely they were modeled individually rather than cast from molds. | | | Although terracottas are usually formed using additive techniques, many Nok pieces were sculpted subtractively in a manner similar to carving. |

| | ABOUT NOK, KATSINA + SOKOTO |
| | Since then, other pieces originating from the northern town of Katsina have found their way onto the art market, but beacuse Nok pieces come from clandestine excavations, information is scarce. | | | In 1943, a terracotta head was excavated from a tin mine near the town of Nok on the Jos plateau, in central Nigeria. | | | A number of fragmentary terracotta sculptures, stylistically related to the Nok civilization, which are of great artistic quality, were also discovered in further excavations in northern Nigeria. |
