Once, a student gave me a crudely built coil pot she had made in ceramics class.  She had painted a stylized skeleton on one side and the name "Frank" on the other.  She gave no explanation.  I didn't need one.  From that point on, all decorative skeletons would be known as "Frank."  I give you "Frank, reclining."
