an ancient statue is displayed in a museum

A Nok sculpture dated to sometime between c. 500 BC&c.500 AD on display in the Louvre. The Nok culture arose sometime around 1000 BC in what is now northern Nigeria. Unfortunately, we don’t know as much about it as we do about other ancient African civilizations because, as far as we know, it had no system of writing and its archaeological sites have not been extensively excavated by professionals.The Nok culture seems to have ended sometime around 500 AD for unknown reasons.
