DescriptionRelief of the Arabian goddess Al-Lat, Manat and al-Uzza from Hatra. Iraq Museum.jpg
English: This carved scene in relief depicts 3 women above a standing and roaring lion. In the middle Al-Lat (also Allat, Allatu, and Alilat) wears a wonderful military attire and head cap (similar to Athena). Her right arm holds a long spear while the left hand holds a shield. Medusa appears on her chest. Al-Lat stands on both feet. She is flanked by two smaller female figures; both of them raise their right hand in salutation while their left hands grasp and lift up an elegant garment. They also stand on their left foot while their right foot is a little bit relaxed, unlike Al-Lat. It is unknown whether these females represent worshippers or the goddesses Manat and al-Uzza.
From the 5th temple at Hatra, Ninawa Governorate, Iraq. Parthian period, 1st to 3rd century CE. On display at the Iraq Museum in Baghdad, Iraq.

यह तीनो मूर्तिया हिन्दुओ के प्रज़प्ति दक्ष की पुत्रियों की मूर्तियों से मिलती है। अरब के इतिहासकारों का यह कहना है कि दक्ष हि अल्लाह थे इसलिए दक्ष ने जैसे बकरे की बलि मांगी थी वैसे हि अल्लाह भी बकरे कि कुर्बानी मांगते है।
