More information

Erkki Lahti (1816-1858) "Pitti-poika" was a self-taught sculptor from Evijärvi Finland. He is best known for his church sculptures inside the churches and "pauper statues" outside many churches in Ostrobothnia. Pauper statues (Finnish: vaivaisukko, Swedish: fattiggubbe) are wooden sculptures and used to raise money for the poor. Pauper statues are especially common in Ostrobothnia, Finland.
He also made some equestrian statues and pocket watch stands, and his works are represented in many museums in Ostrobothnia, Finland, among others KH Rehnlundin museo - Keski-Pohjanmaan maakuntamuseo, in Kokkola Finland has a similar one watch stand.
