Some fine crack repairs, overall condition fair. Thank you and please view my other items. BACKGROUND These African clay sculptures were first discovered in 1943 when tin mining operations started near the village of Nok on the Jos Plateau. Nigeria. Since then numerous finds of sculpted terracotta heads, figures, animals, as well as pottery shards, have been discovered in a number of sites over a large part of Nigeria, extending 500 km east to west and 300 North to South. They are collectively known for the village by which the first finds were made: Nok terracottas. In 1943 there were no archaeologists working in Nigeria and the finds were catalogued by art historians. Today, following more modern and accurate excavations, we know that the terracottas date back to a period from 500 BCE to 200 CE. Unfortunately several figures have appeared on the international art market form clandestine digs for which corroborative data is scarce. The Nok terracottas are typically hollow sculptures, built up from coils of clay and fired in kilns. The extensive variation in form suggests that each was a one-off sculpture. In the majority of cases the sculpting detail was created by adding to the underlying structure, but a few rare cases show that Nok artists were also capable of reductive sculpture, removing substantial amounts of clay from an oversized initial form- a technique which may have developed from wood-carving. Over the centuries the original surface of the Nok terracottas, formed using a clay slip, has eroded away l

The effigy fragment still has remnants of red paint. The nose and mouth. And left side are broken off. It measures 1 ½ x 1 ¼ x ½ inch depth. Stand not included. There is also glue residue on the back as the fragment as it was once attached to a velvet backed display case. Chupícuaro(a pre-Horizon culture) fertility effigies were placed into the dirt by a Chupícuaro farmer during the planting season to appease the goods to insure a bountiful harvest. Subsequently. After centuries of being plowed or tilled over, the heads usually break off from the bodies. Chupícuaro Excerpt from Wikipedia. The free encyclopedia The Chupícuaro culture was located in the mountains of central Mexico and is named for the area in which the artifacts have been found. It is an important pre-Hispanic archeological site from the late pre-classical or formative period; located west of the Mexican Plateau. On the hills nearby the Lerma River and its tributary Coroneo or Tiger River; which currently under water because of the Solis dam. Just 7 kilometers from Acamaro in the Guanajuato State, near the Michoacán State border in Mexico Little is known about the history of this site. And it was not until 1946, due to a dam construction, that the first explorations were performed, discovering pottery objects and tombs. The place is currently below dam water, although there are surrounding areas still being explored. According to several sources. It is believed that this settlement developed between 500 BC and 300 AD, although some scientists suggest an older development, as far back as 800 BC. Establishing a firm chronology for Chupícuaro has been very problematic. Due to a lack of stratigraphic excavations and reliable C 14 dates.
