Allat; the Arab goddess of war; is the central figure on this stone relief from Hatra (once covered with thin sheets of gold or silver). She is flanked by two smaller female figures; most probably her daughters al-Izza and Al-Manat; with right hands raised up; palms forward; in the typical Hatrene manner indicating benediction or respectful prayer.

Although these deities are of Arab origin; Allat is shown with the attributes of the Greek goddess Athena: a gorgon head on her breastplate; armed with a spear; a helmet; and carrying a shield marked with her lunar symbol. The eyes and the costume are rendered in the local Parthian fashion.

The goddesses are perched on a lion - Al-Lat's sacred animal - portrayed with an extravagant flame-like mane.
