This image features two distinct parts. On the left, there is a detailed mandala consisting of multiple concentric circles, each containing an individual figure in various seated poses typically associated with Buddhist iconography. The central figure of the mandala appears larger and is depicted sitting in the lotus position with hands in a gesture of meditation or teaching. Surrounding this figure are numerous other smaller figures arranged symmetrically within the squares and circles, each sitting in similar meditative poses.

On the right side of the image, there is a detailed line drawing of a multi-armed deity seated in a cross-legged position on a layered cushion or lotus, framed by elaborate stylized floral elements. The deity is depicted holding various symbolic objects in its hands. Despite the lack of facial details, the general impression is one of serene, divine composure typical of Eastern religious art.

The image shows two separate but possibly related illustrations on what appears to be aged paper. On the left side, there is a grid containing various circular emblems or drawings, with a larger central figure that seems to be seated in a meditative or yogic position. This figure is surrounded by an array of symbols and smaller figures, also within circles, which are organized into rows and columns. The overall layout suggests a structured representation, which could be symbolic or illustrative of a particular cultural or spiritual concept.

On the right side, there is a single illustration of a figure also seated in a meditative posture, with what looks like foliage, flowers, or some sort of ornamentation surrounding them. The figure appears serene, with their hands placed in their lap. This drawing is more detailed around the figure, with less emphasis on the surrounding area. The style of both illustrations suggests a connection to a particular cultural or spiritual artwork, possibly originating from Asia based on the iconography and style of drawing. The exact cultural significance and the meanings of the symbols would require further context to determine.

This appears to be a traditional Buddhist artwork consisting of two parts. On the left is a mandala-style diagram with multiple circular medallions arranged in a geometric pattern, each containing seated Buddhist figures in meditation poses. The circles are organized in concentric squares, with a central larger medallion surrounded by smaller ones.

The drawing style appears to be from an Asian Buddhist tradition, possibly Tibetan or East Asian, and both images are rendered in simple line drawings on what looks like aged paper or parchment.

The overall composition suggests these might be preliminary sketches or templates for more elaborate paintings or religious artworks, as they appear to be drawn with careful attention to traditional Buddhist iconographic conventions and proportions.

The artwork reflects traditional Tibetan or East Asian Buddhist iconographic styles and likely served as either a teaching tool or meditation aid.
