Profile

Origin

Allat or al-Lat,[a] referred to in Greek by Herodotus as Alilat,[b] is an Arabian goddess who was worshiped in various parts of the Arabian Peninsula, including Mecca, before the advent of Islam. She was considered one of the three chief goddesses of the pre-Islamic Arabian pantheon, alongside al-Uzza and Manat. Worshippers of Alilat often associated her with fertility, the earth, and feminine qualities, though different tribes had their own representations and beliefs associated with her. However, deities of Arabian paganism, including Alilat, lost their significance in the 7th century following the prophet Muhummad's revelations and the rise of Islam, a faith which condemned the worship of idols other than Allah the one God.

Design

Alilat is a large cubic stone covered in red engravings which resemble a feminine figure.
