This shrine is unusual because it combines foxes with... frogs. Two large stone frogs flank then entrance of this cluster, with both of them also carrying smaller stone frogs on heir backs. And in the middle of them, on another pedestal, sits a third smaller stone fox. Even the small ones are bigger than any real frog I've ever seen, though.

Beyond that is the main shrine cluster area, where pairs of stone foxes flank many of the shrines within.
