This screen is a type often hung as wall art. Similar screens were quite common in Hong Kong stores that catered to foreign tourists and expatriates in the late 70s-early 80s. Hong Kong wholesale stores I visited there at the time were overflowing with such art, not only screens but some sold wallpaper hand-painted with such art in sizes sufficient to cover walls 12 feet wide by 8 feet high, which I recovered at my Mid-Levels flat for a few hundred U.S. dollars plus labor (can't remember the exact total right offhand).
Age, in the case of your screen, is evident from the modern style of figural painting, which shows a generational gap compared to period works. For value, since you don't mention size here, I'd suggest you go to auctioneer websites such as liveauctioneers.com and search their archives for results in similar sizes and motifs (you may have to sign up with them but it's worth it).
Best regards,
