The article is an anthropological analysis of the meaning and form of the amusing figurines by Franciszek Skocz which are presented from the angle of life and experiences of this unprofessional artist, who created in a small town in Western Pomerania. By studying the biography of the creator, the author of the article discovers various layers of the now-forgotten amateur sculptor’s identity (a soldier, patriot, prisoner of concentration camps) whose greatest artistic work fell in the 1970s and 1980s. The figurines were considered as expressions of his identity, various experiences, memories and feelings.
