I could not help but think of the Benin Bronzes and of course, when you mention that there was a possible drift into Ife culture, that made a lot of sense. I do have a vague recall of our tame archaeologist, Patrick, who was investigating the Benin walls also being interested in terracotta and the Nok... but if I knew any more than that it had drifted out of memory.
