  Nok Terracottas (500 B.C.–200 A.D.) | Thematic Essay | Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan Museum of Art   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
In 1943, tin mining in the vicinity of the village of Nok near the Jos Plateau region of Nigeria brought to light a terracotta head, evidence of the oldest known figurative sculpture south of the Sahara.
Nok head fragments were once part of entire bodies and are the most renowned objects within the corpus known to date.
The heads of Nok terracottas are invariably proportionally large relative to the bodies, and while not enough is known of Nok culture to explain this apparent imbalance, it is interesting to note that a similar emphasis of the head in later African art traditions often signifies respect for intelligence.

 Mr. Dowling's Ancient Nok Page
The Nok artifacts included sculptures of animals and people made of terra cotta, or fired clay.
The complex Nok sculptures were probably based on woodcarvings, but any wooden artifacts would have disintegrated long ago in the humid climate of West Africa.
This leads archaeologists to believe that the Nok civilization may have been much older than even the oldest artifact.

NOK testing is as often not done as it is incredibly important - which is to say, very!
Verifying that your application does what its specification (whatever form that takes for your team) says it should do is important, but not sufficient.
Stress testing, load testing, performance testing, security testing, and risk testing each cover a specific type of NOK testing; the degree to which each matters is very application-specific.
