What significance might attach to the female head of the buraq?

Buraq (Arabic: البراق, literally: lightning, outburst, blinding whiteness) is a mythological equine, with the head of a woman and the body of a mare, which appears in the Islamic tradition. According to it, Buraq was the one who moved Mohammed from Earth to Heaven and back during the Isra 'and Mi'raj (night journey), which is one of the chapters of the Qur'an. However, no hadeeth or early text alludes to a humanoid face, only to a "beautiful steed" greater than a donkey and smaller than a mule, a description that was probably misinterpreted when translated into Persian, extending into Persian and Indian Islamic art the figure with a beautiful female face. The descriptions also do not clarify the sex of the creature, although it is usually assumed to be male, but Ibn Sa'd causes the angel Gabriel to address him as a female, which reinforced the identification as a female.
