In the Nok Style - Nigeria (No Reserve Price)

The Nok statues from Nigeria are terracotta sculptures dating back to an ancient civilization called the Nok culture. This thriving culture existed in the region now known as Nigeria, primarily between approximately 1000 BC and AD 500.

The Nok statues are famous for being among the oldest terracotta sculptures in sub-Saharan Africa. They generally depict human figures, often with stylized features, a relatively large head compared to the body, and distinctive elements such as elaborate hairstyles and ornaments.

These statues were made using hand modeling techniques and firing, which makes them an impressive technical achievement given the historical period in which they were created.

The Nok statues were discovered in the Jos region of Nigeria and are considered highly important cultural artifacts. They attest to the existence of a complex society with advanced artistic skills and deep cultural expressions. The Nok statues have significantly influenced the perception and understanding of art history in West Africa.

The statue offered here is in the style of the ancient Nok.
