Of the Sao are known mainly their oldest terracottas. The apogee of this civilization took place during the XCII and XIII centuries although according to the C.14 from the V century B.C. the first vestiges with zoomorphic forms begin to appear, and from the X century of our Era the first figures with human anatomical forms, little modeled and with coarsely sculpted faces.  The bronze figurines, elaborated by the blacksmiths of the Lake Tchad basin, with the lost wax technique, are much later and were made by the Kotoko, an ethnic group that currently occupies the same territories. . These small figures were made to honor the ancestors. They are also attributed a protective power, like a talisman, against diseases. . These figures were also carried by women, like jewelry, which, in addition to their therapeutic virtues, were particularly effective during possession crises. Its ceramic and metallurgical productions are abundant, especially those from the 14th to 16th centuries.
