Katsina-Ala is a Local Government Area (LGA) of Benue State, Nigeria.
The town center is the location of one of the oldest schools in Nigeria, Government College Katsina-Ala, founded in 1914, and has produced many prominent members in Nigerian society.
They include realistic representations of human heads, with some animals, and parts of larger statues.
The statues are similar to others found at Nok, about 209 km to the north, and are thought to have been made by people of the same culture.
According to Bernard Fagg, an archeologist who undertook extensive studies into the Nok culture, the works at Katsina Ala constitutes a distinctive sub-style.
