This is a painting by Rashid al-Din, Tabriz, Persia 1307 AD, from the book "Jami'al Tawarikh"
Here we have Mohammed riding a - what? A horse with a woman's head! His right hand wrapped firmly around her right breast. "Mi'raj" or mirage? "Night Ride" or nightmare? A vision by someone who had a mental condition.(He loved violence). The tail of the "horse" has the head and torso of a woman with a sword: Freud would have a field day here!
Here, Mo is wearing a veil while the female creatures are not.
