SCULPTURES AND MAP
The Nok sculptures are made of terracotta, a kind of earthenware. They vary in size from 2.5 centimetres high to life size. All the human heads have pierced ears, and the eyes are hollowed out. Scholars do not know what function these sculptures had in the Nok society.

Nok sculptures also produce lifelike human figurines. Nok people lived in farming communities. They also made iron weapons and tools for farming including Exquisite terracotta sculptures.
Some believe that the sculpture of other West African peoples shows Nok influence. That is almost 1800 years before the so called European enlightenment and 1000 before the explosion of Islamic culture in Africa.
