Diipetes
Diipetes are objects, likely meteorite fragments, with coincidental human and animal forms, venerated in Ancient Greece as "thrown by the Gods". See also Acheiropoetos (literally ‘not-made-by-hand’), an early Judeo-Christian tradition, and Icon.
Examples:

The Diipetes Journal is a quarterly journal in Greek published in Greece covering classical paganism and Hellenic polytheism since 1991.
