LOL. Hardly unique, and not a frog. Zeus/altar from Seleucis and Pieria. Antioch.

with the provided match, but it does look a good deal like a frog (or turtle). I wonder if those altars were deliberately designed to look like an animal from the side.

Looks like the frog tried to cross the road. Unsuccessfully.
