This is an etching or engraving featuring a procession of three mounted figures, each riding a richly adorned animal. The first animal appears exotic, resembling an elephant adorned with decorated coverings and feather-like plumes. The second figure is mounted on a heavily armored horse, also with plumes, and the third rides another well-decorated horse. Above each rider, there are banners with inscriptions that suggest these figures represent historically significant individuals. The detailed linework suggests this image is from a period where such engravings were a form of art and documentation, capturing historical or allegorical scenes. There's a sense of motion and a display of regal or military status conveyed by the riders' poses and the luxurious adornments on their mounts. The image also includes stylized depictions of the ground and the background, which is left largely unadorned to focus attention on the figures.
