PostScript code can be directly inserted inside a \markup block.
For technical reasons, this doesn't show up in the Wiki because \postscript only works with LilyPond's PS backend and is neither supported in the SVG (used in this Wiki) or the Cairo backend.
In general it is recommended to use LilyPond's native graphical markup commands like \polygon instead, which can be used with all LilyPond backends.
\version "2.24"
\relative c'' {
