It represents the wheel of life with the various forces of samsara (illusion) depicted. At the center are a pig, snake and cock representing ignorance, hatred and lust. Around that are ascending and descending karma. Around that the six realms from gods realm to hell realms. On the edge are the twelve links of dependent origination. The figure holding the wheel is Yama the lord of death. You could say its a simplified diagram of part of what the Buddha saw when he became enlightened.
