You know something?? The more I look at that statue, the more it looks like the "snakes" are really just the ends of his legs. I think it is just a depiction of a mer-man ... but instead of the single fish tail that we are used to seeing, it looks like his legs both terminate in fish tails.
That would explain why he is blowing on the conch shell. If you look really closely ... you'll see that a portion of each snake comes off of his legs and fans out into fins.
