Erläuterung
Nok culture is known for its unique terracotta sculptures and its early iron working. In Nigeria in 1943, a visitor came to archaeologist Bernard Fagg and drew his attention to some unique-looking artifacts, which Fagg and his colleagues eventually determined belonged to a then-unknown culture now known as the Nok.
