Is that a dog at the base of the smaller pillar to the left?

And is the sand imported, like for the Strandbar?
 
Yep, that's a dog. And behind it, on the main slope, a skull. No idea where they get the sand.
 
That is really cool.
 
That is really cool! The snail/squid thing (I know there's a name for it...) is fantastic. Are there different faces around the top, too? Apparently when you get your sand imported you get serious about it.
