The image you've shown is a panoramic, horizontally oriented artwork consisting of multiple panels. From left to right, the first and second panels display dense Chinese script, indicating that there may be a narrative or explanation related to the artwork.

The third panel shows a decorative frame, again filled with Chinese characters, which may denote a title, a dedication, or a poem related to the central image that it frames.

The central image and the remaining right side of the artwork is a detailed illustration depicting numerous figures, which appear to be arranged in a traditional Asian religious or mythological scene.

There are many other figures arranged around this central character, each with a halo, indicating they may be deities, bodhisattvas, or other significant figures in the religious pantheon to which this work pertains.

The overall style, the clothing of the figures, and the script suggest this artwork is of East Asian origin, likely Chinese, and is possibly related to Buddhist iconography, given the composition and the symbolic elements present. The drawing style, along with the wear and discoloration, indicates that this is an older work, though the exact age and origin would require expert analysis. The work is presented on what appears to be aged paper or parchment, which is folded or segmented, suggesting that it may be part of a scroll or a folding screen.
