 First picture looks like a pig?   not sure why it's got a pair of legs on it's back though and looks like a hippo from the front or a frog back end looks like a seal?

More photos here, a flat polished base, V Nason or Ronneby maybe.

Looks like it is saying "Aaargghh, HELP, I twisted my spine" (180°)

I think it is a frog and they aren't 'legs' on it's back but it's joints of the large back legs...it's 'knees'?? :24:

I like it.

But Chris, perhaps you should turn it once clockwise and make it lie on its snout and legs.  That way it will look like a poor piggy which has fallen over, with its butt in the air. :usd:
