Art print of Burak (براق), the celestial steed of the Prophet’s Miʿraj, featuring a crowned woman’s face fused to a horse’s body draped in royal regalia and radiant wings. This 20th-century Delhi bazaar print blends Islamic devotional iconography with Hindu design elements against a saturated green backdrop and stylized detail to create a surreal, psychedelic effect. The original lithograph is held by Khajistan in Toshakhana.
