Le récit
The Nok civilisation appears in the extract through its distinctive earthenware and its place in the history of West African artistic production. It is described as an important predecessor within a regional sequence that later includes the Benin bronzes. The relationship suggests continuity in technical and cultural traditions rather than isolated artistic episodes.
The passage places Nok five hundred years before the Christian era. Its earthenware is connected with the bronzes produced in Benin between the tenth and fifteenth centuries of the Christian era. Together, these traditions are used to affirm the depth and indigenous character of West African civilisation.
